Introduction
Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been engineered to stably overexpress human 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2A (5-HT2A) on their surface. These cells contain high levels of both G protein Gαq and Gαi, which are crucial for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
This gene encodes a receptor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter with diverse functions in the central nervous system. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to schizophrenia and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it also influences the response to antidepressant drugs.
