DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ D5 Dopamine Receptor Frozen Cells
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.

Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that functions in the CNS to control locomotor, cognitive, emotional and neurendocrine processes, and in the periphery to modulate cardiovascular, renal and gastrointestinal processes. The biological activities of dopamine are mediated by a family of five GPCRs. The D1 and D5 subtypes couple to Gs to increase intracellular cAMP, whereas the D2, D3 and D4 subtypes couple to Gi to reduce cAMP (Missale et al., 1998). The hypertensive phenotype of mice with a targeted deletion of D5 indicates that D5 regulates central control of sympathetic vascular tone (Hollon et al., 2002). In addition, D5 modulates locomotion and corticostriatal long-term depression (Centonze et al., 2003). Millipore’s cloned human D5-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant D5 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 D5.
