Description:
ChemiSCREEN™ Membrane Preparation Recombinant Human CRF2 Neuropeptide Receptor
Trade Name:
- ChemiScreen
- Chemicon (Millipore)
Qty/Pk:
200 units
Product Overview:
Full-length human CRHR2 cDNA encoding CRF2
Background Information:
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.

Incubation Conditions:
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
