The NFAT Luciferase Reporter CHO cell line (PKC/Ca2+ Signaling Pathway) contains a firefly luciferase gene under the control of NFAT response element stably integrated into CHO K1 cells. This cell line is validated for its response to phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) in the presence of ionomycin.
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 cell freezing medium (Biohippo, #79796)
Background
The protein kinase C (PKC)/ Ca2+ response pathway leads to activation of the transcription factor nuclear factor of activator T cells (NFAT). NFAT is regulated by Ca2+ and the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent serine phosphatase calcineurin. NFAT proteins are phosphorylated and reside in the cytoplasm in resting cells; upon stimulation, they are dephosphorylated by calcineurin, translocate to the nucleus, and induce gene expression.
Application
Monitor NFAT stimulation Screen for activators or inhibitors of the PKC/ Ca2+
Host Cell
CHO-K1 cells, Chinese Hamster Ovary, epithelial-like cells, adherent
Shipping Temperature
-80°C (dry ice)
