Introduction
Recombinant HEK293 cells have been developed to stably overexpress human 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor 2C (5-HT2C) on their surface. These cells contain high levels of the G protein Gαq, which is crucial for coupling with the receptor in downstream signaling pathways.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
This gene encodes a receptor for serotonin, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in regulating mood, appetite, and sleep. The receptor is a target for various drugs used to treat psychiatric disorders, including antidepressants and antipsychotics.
