iLite® GLP-1 Assay Ready Cells

Product Overview

iLite® GLP-1 Assay Ready Cells are based on the human embryonic kidney cell line, HEK293, and have been genetically engineered and optimized to be responsive to GLP-1 receptor agonists, resulting in a proportional expression of Firefly Luciferase.

The iLite GLP-1 Assay Ready Cells can be used for functional studies of GLP-1, the receptor GLP1R, and their interaction in test samples, including human serum.

Normalization of cell counts and serum matrix effects is achieved using a second reporter gene, a Renilla Luciferase reporter gene construct, under the control of a constitutive promoter.

How it works

arrow
ilite-1

The function of iLite assays

iLite cells have receptors on the cell surface that can bind to the marker under study.

ilite-2

The function of iLite assays

Upon binding of the marker to its receptor, a signaling path activates the production of luciferase from a reporter gene.

ilite-3

The function of iLite assays

Following cell lysis and the addition of a substrate, the luciferase is measured using a luminometer.

ilite-4

The function of iLite assays

iLite cells contain a secondary Renilla luciferase gene that is constitutively expressed and is used for normalization.
