AAV ACTOne Gi-GPCR Assay Kit-P2Y12

Price range: $498.00 through $3,598.00

The AAV ACTOne Gi-GPCR Assay Kit-P2Y12 is designed specifically for screening drugs/compounds that target the Purinergic Receptor P2Y12  (P2Y12) by combination AAV and ACTOne technologies.
P2Y12 is a chemoreceptor for adenosine diphosphate (ADP) that belongs to the Gi-GPCR purinergic receptors. This P2Y receptor family has several receptor subtypes with different pharmacological selectivity, which overlaps in some cases, for various adenosine and uridine nucleotides. The P2Y12 receptor is involved in platelet aggregation and is thus a biological target for the treatment of thromboembolisms and other clotting disorders. Two transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been identified for this gene. In the field of purinergic signaling, the P2Y12 protein on the periphery is found mainly but not exclusively on the surface of blood platelets, and is an important regulator in blood clotting. In the central nervous system, this receptor has been found expressed exclusively on microglia, where it is necessary for physiological and pathological microglial actions, such as monitoring neuronal functions and microglial neuroprotection.
This kit uses AAV vectors with a CMV promoter to co-express the P2Y12 and cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel, allowing researchers to conduct high-throughput screening and functional analysis of potential P2Y12-targeting compounds. The kit provides a sensitive and reliable method for evaluating the pharmacological properties of P2Y12 drugs, such as agonists and antagonists, in a live-cell environment.

ACTOne GPCR Assay

ACTOne™ is the only high-throughput GPCR screening technology that can directly measure the intracellular changes of the secondary messenger cyclic AMP (cAMP) in living cells, in real-time. It uses a proprietary modified cyclic nucleotide-gated (CNG) channel, which is co-localized with adenylate cyclase at the plasma membrane, as a biosensor of cAMP activity. The CNG channel opens when the cAMP level near the plasma membrane increases, resulting in ion flux and cell membrane depolarization. The influx of cations through the CNG channel can be quantified using fluorescent ion indicators or membrane potential (MP) dyes. It provides information on real time intracellular cAMP changes and is highly sensitive. By combining kinetic and endpoint readouts, we are able to capture and analyze transient responses from endogenous GPCRs and weak responses caused by weak Gs or Gi coupled GPCR activities. Using ACTOne, we are able to detect the subcellular cAMP concentration changes directly caused by GPCR activation. Real-time kinetic readouts minimize artifacts, and provide greater content and more statistically relevant data. The intensity of signal increase caused by GPCR activation is directly related to the receptor number on cell surface. Using ACTOne assay, we were able to detect activities of some endogenous Gs coupled receptors in HEK293 cells that have not been reported in literature. In addition, we have also detected weak Gs coupled activity of a GPCR that was widely considered to be only linked to Gq coupled pathway.  The ACTOne assay also provides a useful tool for GPCR de-orphanization.
