A CHO-K1 cell line has been developed to stably overexpress human G protein-coupled receptor 68 (GPR68) on its surface. This cell line contains high levels of both G protein Gαi and Gαq, which are essential for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Drug screening and biological assays
GPR68, also known as ovarian cancer G protein-coupled receptor 1 (OGR1), is a proton-sensing G protein-coupled receptor. It responds to extracellular acidity and regulates various cellular functions.
