DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ PAC1 (long isoform) VIP/PACAP 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.

PACAP (pituitary adenylyl cyclase-activating peptide) is a peptide that exists in 2 forms, 27 or 38 amino acids, and is related to vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP). Three related class B GPCRs, PAC1, VPAC1 and VPAC2, bind to PACAP; however, VPAC1 and VPAC2 have a much higher affinity for VIP than does PAC1 (Vaudry et al., 2000). Several splice variants of PAC1 result in proteins that differ at the N-terminus and third intracellular loop; these variants differ in their affinities for PACAP and abilities to activate Gq and Gs. High expression of PAC1 is observed in the CNS and the adrenal medulla. Studies with PAC1-null mice indicate that PAC1 plays important roles in regulation of circadian rhythms, neutrophil migration, and pulmonary vascular tone (Hannibal et al., 2001; Martinez et al., 2005; Otto et al., 2004). Millipore’s cloned human PAC1-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant PAC1 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 PAC1 Receptor.
