Introduction
Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been engineered to stably overexpress the human galanin receptor 2 (GALR2) on their surface, and they contain high levels of the G protein Gαq, which is involved in coupling with the receptor to facilitate downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
Galanin receptor 2 (GALR2) is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds galanin, a neuropeptide with diverse physiological functions, including regulation of food intake, pain perception, and neuroendocrine secretion.
