Descrição

Descrição geral

Full-length human ADRA2B transcript cDNA encoding α_2B.

The endogenous catecholamines epinephrine and norepinephrine have profound effects on smooth muscle activity, cardiac function, carbohydrate and fat metabolism, hormone secretion, neurotransmitter release, and central nervous system actions. These activities are mediated by GPCRs belonging to two subfamilies, the α- and β-adrenoceptors (Bylund et al., 1994). The α₂ adrenergic receptor subfamily members, consisting of α_2A, α_2B, and α_2C, couple primarily to Gi to inhibit cAMP production, and play an important role in regulation of cardiovascular and CNS function. Experiments with α_2A-selective agonists and mice lacking α_2A demonstrate that activation of α_2A results in hypotension, sedation, analgesia, and hypothermia (Kable et al., 2000). Chemicon′s α_2B membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of agonists and antagonists at α_2B. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 11.5 nM for [³H]-Rauwolscine. With 15 nM [³H]-Rauwolscine, 5 µg/well α_2B Membrane Prep typically yields greater than 30-fold signal-to-background ratio.

Especificações

Inucbation Conditions
Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, an FC 96-well harvest plate (Millipore cat. # MAHF C1H) is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [3H]-Rauwolscine (Perkin Elmer#: NET-722)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.

forma física

One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 20-fold signal:background with 3H-labeled Rauwolscine at 15 nM

Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10% glycerol and 1% BSA with no preservatives.
