DescriptionReady-to-Assay™ Y2 Neuropeptide 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.

The NPY family consists of three 36-amino acid peptides, neuropeptide Y (NPY), peptide YY (PYY) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP), which bind to the NPY receptor family of G protein-coupled receptors. Five NPY receptors, Y1, Y2, Y4, Y5 and Y6, have been defined at the molecular level, and each signals primarily through Gi/o. Binding of NPY family peptides to NPY receptors mediates a variety of physiological effects, including promotion of food intake, decreased anxiety, inhibition of neurotransmitter and hormone release, vasoconstriction, and gut motility. Y2 is primarily expressed in the CNS, and it mediates presynaptic inhibition of neurotransmitter release (Michel et al., 1998). Chemicon's cloned human Y2-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant Y2 expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to enhance coupling of the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for antagonists of interactions between Y2 and its ligands.
