Introduction
A HEK293 cell line that expresses firefly luciferase under the control of the cAMP response element (CRE) and stably expresses human GCGR (Glucagon receptor; NM_000160.5). Activation of GCGR in these cells can be monitored by measuring luciferase activity.
Application
Drug screening and biological assays
Background
GCGR (Glucagon Receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor that binds to glucagon and mediates its effects on glucose production and release from the liver, playing a role in blood glucose regulation.
