ChemiScreen™ Human Recombinant D5 Dopamine Receptor Calcium-Optimized Stable Cell Line
Description:
ChemiScreen™ Human Recombinant D5 Dopamine Receptor Calcium-Optimized Stable Cell Line
Trade Name:
- ChemiScreen
- Chemicon (Millipore)
Product Overview:
Full-length human DRD5 cDNA encoding D5
Background Information:
Dopamine is a catecholamine neurotransmitter that functions in the CNS to control locomotor, cognitive, emotional and neurendocrine processes, and in the periphery to modulate cardiovascular, renal and gastrointestinal processes. The biological activities of dopamine are mediated by a family of five GPCRs. The D1 and D5 subtypes couple to Gs to increase intracellular cAMP, whereas the D2, D3 and D4 subtypes couple to Gi to reduce cAMP (Missale et al., 1998). The hypertensive phenotype of mice with a targeted deletion of D5 indicates that D5 regulates central control of sympathetic vascular tone (Hollon et al., 2002). In addition, D5 modulates locomotion and corticostriatal long-term depression (Centonze et al., 2003). Chemicon's cloned human D5-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant D5 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 antagonists of interactions between D5 and its ligands.

Storage Conditions:
Place cells in liquid nitrogen immediately upon receipt. Maintain frozen in liquid nitrogen for up to 5 years. Thaw cells rapidly by removing from liquid nitrogen and immediately immersing in a 37ºC water bath. Immediately after ice has thawed, sterilize the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. Transfer contents of the vial to a T75 flask containing 20 mL growth media, and place in a humidified 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. After 8-24 h, cells will adhere to the plate, at which time the media should be replaced to remove residual DMSO. Cells are passaged by washing with Ca++ and Mg++-free HBSS (10 mL/T75), incubating with 0.05% trypsin/0.2 g/L EDTA (1 mL/T75) for 5-10 minutes at 37°C, and rapping the side of the flask to dislodge the cells. Neutralize the trypsin by addition of 4 volumes growth media. Cells are typically passaged 1:10 with every 3-4 days, and should be passaged at least once after thawing prior to use in calcium flux assays.
