Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been designed to stably overexpress the human nicotinic acid receptor (NIACR1), also known as the hydroxycarboxylic acid receptor 2 (HCAR2), on their surface, and they contain high levels of the G protein Gαi, which is involved in coupling with the receptor to facilitate downstream signaling pathways.
Drug screening and biological assays
G protein-coupled receptor 109A (GPR109A), also known as niacin receptor 1 (NIACR1), is a receptor for niacin (vitamin B3) and is involved in the regulation of lipid metabolism and anti-inflammatory responses.
