Introduction
Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been developed to stably overexpress the human glucagon receptor (GCGR) on their surface, and they contain high levels of the G protein Gαs, which is involved in coupling with the receptor to facilitate downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
Glucagon receptor (GCGR) is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds glucagon, a peptide hormone that raises blood glucose levels by stimulating glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in the liver.
