Introduction
Recombinant CHO-K1 cells have been designed to stably overexpress the human oxytocin receptor (OXTR) on their surface, and they contain high levels of the G proteins Gαq and Gαi, which are involved in coupling with the receptor to facilitate downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
