Recombinant CHO-K1 cells stably expressing cynomolgus monkey (Macaca fascicularis) GPRC5D (accession #XP_005570250.1) under the control of a CMV promoter.
Mycoplasma testing: The cell line has been screened to confirm the absence of Mycoplasma species.
Host Species: hamster
Supplied as Each vial contains 2 x 106 cells in 1 ml of 10% DMSO
Background
The orphan G protein-coupled receptor, class C group 5 member D (GPRC5D) is a retinoic acid-inducible protein with seven transmembrane segments and a short N-terminal extracellular region. The strong and selective expression of GPRC5D in Multiple Myeloma cells, similar to the expression pattern of B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), makes it a promising target for the treatment of Multiple Myeloma. It is anticipated that GPRC5D will be an alternative CAR T cell target for Multiple Myeloma immunotherapy.
Application
Cynomolgus GPRC5D binding assays; screen for cynomolgus GPRC5D ligands or antibodies.
