General description

Angiotensin II (Ang II), an octapeptide produced by cleavage of angiotensinogen by angiotensin-converting enzyme, plays a fundamental role in cardiovascular homeostasis. Two GPCRs, AT1 and AT2, mediate the effects of AngII, although AT1 is primarily responsible for the effects of Ang II on renal function and development, thirst, electrolyte and water balance, and arterial blood pressure. Binding of Ang II to AT1 activates both Gq and Gi (De Gasparo et al., 2000). Chemicon′s AT1 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 AT1 interactions and its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.36 nM for [125I]-Sar1-Ile8-Angiotensin II. With 0.3 nM [125I]-Sar1-Ile8-Angiotensin II, 5 µg/well AT1 Membrane Prep yields greater than 50-fold signal-to-background ratio.

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 Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [125I]-Sar1-Ile8-Angiotensin II. (Perkin Elmer#:NEX-248 )
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
One package contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where a unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 50-fold signal:background with 125I labeled Sar1-Ile8-Angiotensin II at 0.3 nM

Physical form

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 -80oC.

Storage and Stability

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