General description

Full-length human PTGER3 cDNA encoding splice variant 6 of EP3
Prostanoids bind to a family of 8 GPCRs to exert their biological effects (Narumiya and FitzGerald, 2001). The prostaglandin PGE2 causes pain, vasodilation, immunosuppression of T cells, bone resorption and promotion of carcinogenesis. Four related GPCRs, EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4, each bind to PGE2, but the different G protein coupling status of each receptor leads to distinct biological effects. Further diversity is generated by alternative splicing; the human gene for EP3 generates 9 alternatively spliced mRNAs encoding 8 isoforms of EP3 (Kotani et al., 1997). These isoforms of EP3 vary in sequence at their C-termini, and differ in their ability to couple to Gs, Gq or Gi (Kotani et al., 1995). EP3 is required for fever induced by pyrogens, a response long attributed to prostaglandins by the antipyretic action of aspirin and other COX inhibitors (Ushikubi et al., 1998). Chemicon′s EP3 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 antagonists of EP3 interactions and its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 1.56 nM for [3H]-PGE2. With 1.5 nM [3H]-PGE2, 5 µg/well and 10 µg/well EP3 Membrane Prep typically yield greater than 10 and 20-fold signal-to-background ratios, respectively.

Application

Radioligand binding assay and GTPS binding.

Specifications

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, a GF/C 96-well filter plate 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 Tris, pH 7.4, 10 mM MgCl2, 1 mM EDTA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [3H] PGE2 (Perkin Elmer#:NET-428 )
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Tris, pH 7.4 filtered and stored at 4°C.

Physical form

One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 10-fold signal:background with 3H-labeled PGE2 at 1.5 nM

Liquid in packaging buffer: 50 mM Tris pH 7.4, 10% glycerol and 1% BSA no preservatives.
Packaging method: Membranes protein were adjusted to 0.5 mg/ml in 1 ml packaging buffer, rapidly frozen, and stored at -80°C.

Storage and Stability

Maintain frozen at -70°C for up to 2 years. Do not freeze and thaw.
