Description
GR-GAL4 Reporter (Luc)-HEK293 Cell Line (Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway) | 60655 | Gentaur US, UK & Europe Disrtribition
Category: Cell Signaling/Cell Line
Application: Monitor glucocorticoid signaling pathway activity and screen activators or inhibitors of the glucocorticoid signaling pathway.
Background: The glucocorticoid signaling pathway plays an important role in development, fluid homeostasis, cognition, immune response, and metabolism. Glucocorticoids are a class of steroid hormones that bind to the glucocorticoid receptor, causing it to translocate to the nucleus. Upon translocation, the receptor can regulate the transcription of a large number of genes, including those that regulate glucose metabolism and inflammatory responses.
Description: The Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway GAL4 Reporter (Luc) - HEK293 Cell Line contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of glucocorticoid receptor ligand binding domain that is fused to the DNA binding domain (DBD) of GAL4 (GAL4 DBD-GR) stably integrated into HEK293 cells. This fusion construct activates firefly luciferase expression under the control of a multimerized GAL4 upstream activation sequence (UAS). This allows for specific detection of glucocorticoid-induced activation of the glucocorticoid receptor without the need for individual transcriptional targets and with low cross-reactivity for other nuclear receptor pathways. This cell line is validated for response to stimulation of dexamethasone and to the treatment with mifepristone, an inhibitor of the glucocorticoid signaling pathway.
