Descripción

Descripción general

Full-length human CRHR2 cDNA encoding CRF₂

The corticotropin-releasing factor receptors, CRF₁ and CRF₂, are Gs-coupled GPCRs expressed in the brain, blood vessels and intestine that bind to several neuropeptides, including corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) and urocortin, and the amphibian peptide sauvagine (Lovenberg et al., 1995; Bale and Vale, 2004). In addition, two peptides, urocortin II (Ucn II) and urocortin III (Ucn III), bind selectively and with high affinity to CRF₂ (Lewis et al., 2001). The CRF peptides and their receptors play important roles in stress mediated by the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in animal models, and possibly in depression and anxiety in humans, although the contributions of CRF₁ and CRF₂ appear to be distinct (Bale and Vale, 2004; Risbrough et al., 2004) In addition, CRF₁ and CRF₂ differentially alter feeding behavior, gastric motility and vascular tone (Zorrilla et al., 2004; Martinez et al., 2004; Wiley and Davenport, 2004). Millipore′s CRF2 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of CRF₂ interactions with its ligands. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 0.65 nM for [¹²⁵I]-sauvagine. With 5 μg/well CRF2 Membrane Prep and 0.35 nM [¹²⁵I]-sauvagine, a greater than 20-fold signal-to-background ratio is obtained.

Especificaciones

RECOMMENDED ASSAY CONDITIONS: Membranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, an FC 96-well harvest plate (Millipore cat. # MAHF C1H) is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl₂, 1 mM CaCl₂, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C

Radioligand: [¹²⁵I] Sauvagine (Perkin Elmer#:NEX306)

Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.

One vial contains enough membranes for at least 200 assays (units), where an unit is the amount of membrane that will yield greater than 20-fold signal:background with ¹²⁵I-labeled Sauvagine at 0.35 nM
