      Background InformationMillipore’s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells with high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

      Somatostatin (sst) is a multifunctional peptide with two biologically active forms, sst-14 and sst-28, which are synthesized in neurons throughout the brain as well as in peripheral tissues such as the pancreas and the gut (Gillies, 1997). SST exerts a diverse array of effects that include inhibition of endocrine secretion, modulation of neurotransmission, and regulation of cell proliferation by stimulating a family of five G-protein-coupled receptors. Somatostatin receptor sst5 is an inhibitory G protein-coupled receptor that exerts a strong cytostatic effect on various cell types. In mice, sst5 mediates somatostatin inhibition of pancreatic insulin secretion and contributes to the regulation of glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity (Strowski et al., 2003). In addition, deficiency of sst5 leads to subtype-selective sexually dimorphic changes in the expression of both brain and pancreatic somatostatins (Ramirez et al., 2004). Millipore’s cloned human sst5-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant sst5 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at sst5.
