MindMap Gallery Detection method for G protein coupled receptor activity in cell lines
The detection method for G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) activity encompasses cell culture and transfection, ligand stimulation, signal transduction detection, and data analysis. Firstly, cell lines are cultured under appropriate conditions and transfected with GPCR expression plasmids. Subsequently, specific ligands are used to stimulate the cells to activate GPCRs. Then, the GPCR-mediated signal transduction activity is assessed by detecting second messenger levels (such as cAMP, IP3), calcium flux changes, or using reporter gene systems. Finally, quantitative analysis of the signal transduction results is performed to determine the functional state of the GPCRs.
