Product Overview:
Full-length human EDG3 cDNA encoding S1P3.
Background Information:
Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) is a bioactive lipid that binds to and activates a family of GPCRs, S1P1-5 (also known as EDG receptors). Interactions between S1P and its receptors mediate cytoskeletal rearrangement and cell migration, with functional consequences in angiogenesis, lymphocyte trafficking, and smooth muscle development (Anliker and Chun, 2004). S1P1 (Edg-1) signals exclusively through Gi, whereas S1P2 (Edg-5) and S1P3 (Edg-3) activate Gi, Gq and G12/13 (Windh et al., 1999). Although S1P1 and S1P3 promote cell migration, S1P2 inhibits cell migration in several cell types; these opposing functions appear to result from differences in the ability of each receptor to activate Gi (Sugimoto et al., 2003). Studies with knockout mice indicate that S1P2 and S1P3 have redundant functions in maintaining vascular integrity during embryonic development (Kono et al., 2004). In addition, S1P3 regulates immune responses by contributing to endothelial barrier function in splenic marginal zones (Girkontaite et al., 2004). Chemicon's cloned human S1P3-expressing cell line is made in the Chem-1 host, which supports high levels of recombinant S1P3 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 antagonists of interactions between S1P3 and its ligands.

Entrez Gene Summary:
This gene encodes a member of the EDG family of receptors, which are G protein-coupled receptors. This protein has been identified as a functional receptor for sphingosine 1-phosphate and likely contributes to the regulation of angiogenesis and vascular endothelial cell function.
UniProt Summary:
FUNCTION: SwissProt: Q99500 # Receptor for the lysosphingolipid sphingosine 1- phosphate (S1P). S1P is a bioactive lysophospholipid that elicits diverse physiological effect on most types of cells and tissues. When expressed in rat HTC4 hepatoma cells, is capable of mediating S1P-induced cell proliferation and suppression of apoptosis.

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 37°:C water bath. Immediately after ice has thawed, sterilize the exterior of the vial with 70% ethanol. Transfer contents of the vial to a T75 flask containing growth media. Place the flask in a humidified incubator at 37°:C with 5% CO2.
3. After 8-24 hours, all live cells will be attached. Viability of the cells is expected to be 50-80%. At this time, replace media to remove residual DMSO, and return to incubator.
4. When cells are approximately 80% confluent, passage the cells as follows: Remove media and wash once with HBSS without Ca++ and Mg++ (10 mL/T75). Add 0.05% trypsin/0.2 g/L EDTA (1 mL/T75) and place in humidified incubator at 37°C with 5% CO2 until cells begin to round up and detach (5-10 minutes). Gently rap the side of the flask to dislodge the cells. Neutralize trypsin by addition of 4 mL Chem-1 Growth Media per 1 mL trypsin.
5. Cells are typically passaged 1:10 every 3-4 days. Passaging ratio may be varied according to requirements of the investigator.
6. Frozen stocks of cells should be prepared at the earliest passage possible after thawing, as follows: Count detached cells (prepared as in Step 4). Centrifuge cells at 200 x g for 5 min. Resuspend cells at 5 x 106 cells/mL in Chem-1 Freezing Media (cell densities of 2-10 x 106 are also acceptable if necessary). 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.
7. Use of cells immediately after thawing is feasible for some cell lines and is being further validated. Some cell lines may need to be passaged at least once after thawing prior to use in calcium flux assays. Cells should be resuspended in Chem-1 Plating Media for plating for calcium assay.
