DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ S1P5 Lysophospholipid 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.

Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a biologically active lysophospholipid that transmits signals through a family of five G-protein-coupled receptors to regulate cell proliferation, migration, cytoskeletal organization, and differentiation (Spiegel and Milstien 2003). S1P5 can couple with Gi/o and G12/13, and it mediates S1P induced adenylate cyclase inhibition and Ca2+ mobilization like the other S1P receptors. However, unlike the other S1P receptors, it mediates inhibition of MAPK activation and cell proliferation (Im et al., 2000). S1P5 is predominantly expressed in the white matter tracts and oligodendrocytes and is particularly abundant in the anterior commissure, corpus collosum, and optic tract (Terai et al., 2003). S1P induces process retraction in pre-oligodendrocytes and supports cell survival in mature oligodendrocytes by activating S1P5, which indicates a role for S1P5 in maturation and myelination of oligodendrocytes (Jaillard et al., 2005). Millipore’s cloned human S1P5-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-5 host, which supports high levels of recombinant S1P5 expression on the cell surface and contains optimized levels of a recombinant promiscuous G protein 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 S1P5 Receptor.
