  • G-PROTEIN COUPLED RECEPTORS HIGH-THROUGHPUT FUNCTIONAL ASSAY
    Publication number: 20080280303
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for enabling or improving functional assays of G-protein coupled receptors through the use of co-expression of helper genes. In some cases, chimeras linking the regulatory domain of the rap1B protein to the effector region of the ras oncogene are used in conduction with existing functional assays for cellular proliferation. Furthermore, overexpression of other genes can further augment the enabling properties of ras/rap chimeras.
