Introduction
A CHO-K1 cell line has been created to stably overexpress human free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2) on its surface. This cell line contains high levels of the G protein Gαq, which is essential for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
G protein-coupled receptor 43 (GPR43), also known as free fatty acid receptor 2 (FFA2), is a receptor for short-chain free fatty acids. It is involved in various physiological processes, including immune response, energy homeostasis, and gut hormone secretion.
