Biological Information
Background Information:
Prostanoid receptors belong to the superfamily of G protein-coupled seven transmembrane proteins. G-protein-coupled receptors constitute one of the major signal transduction systems in eukaryotic cells. Coding sequences for these receptors, in those regions believed to contribute to the agonist-antagonist binding site, are strongly conserved across mammalian species. Prostanoid FP is a member of the prostaglandin series which are derived de novo from arachidonic acid and constitute the most abundant of the naturally occurring protanoids. FP receptors are considered to be involved in smooth muscle contraction such as the uterus, vasculature, gastrointestinal tract, etc.

Testing Information
Procedure Summary:
Human recombinant prostanoid FP receptors expressed in HEK293 cells are used in modified MES buffer pH 6.0. A 80 μg‡ aliquot is incubated with 1 nM [³H]PGF2α for 60 minutes at 25°C. Non-specific binding is estimated in the presence of 1 μM Cloprostenol. Membranes are filtered and washed, the filters are then counted to determine [³H]PGF2a specifically bound. Compounds are screened at 10 μM.
Note: ‡Membrane protein may change from lot to lot, the concentration used will be adjusted if necessary.
