Millipore′s Ready-to-Assay GPCR frozen cells are designed for simple, rapid calcium assays with no requirement for intensive cell culturing. Millipore has optimized the freezing conditions to provide cells vwith high viability and functionality post-thaw. The user simply thaws the cells and resuspends them in media, dispenses cell suspension into assay plates and, following over night recovery, assays for calcium response.

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is a 9 amino acid peptide that functions as an antidiuretic, vasoconstrictor and neurotransmitter. The three vasopressin receptors, V1A, V1B and V2, are GPCRs; V1A and V1B couple to Gq and calcium release, whereas V2 couples to Gs. V1 receptors regulate fluid homeostasis by stimulating contraction of glomerular mesangial cells and renal vascular smooth muscle cells (Birnbaumer, 2000). Millipore′s cloned human V1A -expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant V1A expression on the cell surface for functional detection via the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists, antagonists and modulators at V1A Receptor.
