DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ GnRH Gonadotropin-Releasing 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.

Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), also known as luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH), regulates the reproductive hormonal cascade in vertebrates. Upon release from the hypothalamus, GnRH stimulates secretion of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone from the pituitary. In humans, the type I GnRH receptor is a GPCR that is unusual in the lack of a cytoplasmic C-terminal tail. Although some species contain a type II GnRH receptor, the human version of this second receptor appears to contain mutations that render it inactive. GnRH analogs (agonists) are used in low doses in a pulsatile fashion in the treatment of infertility, delayed puberty and cryptorchidism. GnRH agonists at high doses desensitize the receptor, and are used along with antagonists in the treatment of hormone-dependent diseases (Millar et al., 2004). Millipore’s cloned human GnRH-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant GnRH expression on the cell surface for functional detection via the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists, and modulators at GnRH.
