Product Overview:
Full-length human ADORA2B cDNA encoding A2B
Background Information:
Extracellular adenosine mediates a multitude of biological effects, including wakefulness, antiarrythmia, bronchoconstriction and response to ischemia and oxidative stress. A family of four G protein-coupled adenosine receptors, A1, A2A, A2B and A3, is responsible for these effects. A2B, which couples to Gs, is expressed in smooth muscle of the bowel, and blood vessels, and mediates relaxation of these tissues in response to adenosine (Fredholm et al., 2001). Airway mast cells also express A2B, which appears to contribute to bronchoconstriction during asthma (Holgate, 2005). Chemicon’s cloned human A2B -expressing cell line is made in the Chem-3 host, which supports high levels of recombinant A2B expression on the cell surface and contains high levels of the promiscuous G protein Gα15 to couple the receptor to the calcium signaling pathway. Thus, the cell line is an ideal tool for screening for agonists and antagonists at A2B.
Usage Statement:
Unless otherwise stated in our catalog or other company documentation accompanying the product(s), our products are intended for research use only and are not to be used for any other purpose, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized commercial uses, in vitro diagnostic uses, ex vivo or in vivo therapeutic uses or any type of consumption or application to humans or animals.
Entrez Gene Summary:
This gene encodes an adenosine receptor that is a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. This integral membrane protein stimulates adenylate cyclase activity in the presence of adenosine. This protein also interacts with netrin-1, which is involved in axon elongation. The gene is located near the Smith-Magenis syndrome region on chromosome 17.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: P29275 # Receptor for adenosine. The activity of this receptor is mediated by G proteins which activate adenylyl cyclase.
SIZE: 332 amino acids; 36333 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.

Storage Conditions:
1. Immediately upon receipt, thaw cells or place cells in liquid nitrogen. Maintain frozen in liquid nitrogen for up to 5 years.
2. Thaw cells rapidly by removing from liquid nitrogen and immediately immersing in a 37ºC water bath. Immediately after ice has thawed, sterilize the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. Transfer contents of the vial to a conical tube containing 10 mL Chem-3 Growth Media. Centrifuge at 200 x g for 5 min. Remove the supernatant and resuspend the cell pellet in 20 mL Chem-3 Growth Media. Transfer to a T75 flask and place the flask in a humidified incubator at 37ºC with 5% CO2.
3. Maintain the cells in suspension between 0.1 x 106 and 1 x 106 cells/mL. Cells are typically passaged 1:10 every 2-3 days, or 1:20 every 3-4 days. Passaging ratio may be varied according to requirements of the investigator. Chem-3 cells tend to proliferate rapidly, so care should be taken not to allow them to become overconfluent.
4. Frozen stocks of cells should be prepared at the earliest passage possible after thawing, as follows: Count cells. Centrifuge cells at 200 x g for 5 min. Resuspend cells at 2-5 x 106 cells/mL in Chem-3 Freezing Media. Dispense 1 mL aliquots into cryopreservation vials. Freeze the cells by a controlled rate process, such as in an isopropanol-jacketed container placed at –70°C overnight. Store the vials in liquid nitrogen.
5. Cells should be passaged at least once after thawing prior to use in calcium flux assays.
