GPCR Assays
Transfluor® technology (Cell-based fluorescence assay for GPCR ligands)
 

Transfluor is a cell-based fluorescence assay used to screen for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) ligands and other potential drugs that regulate GPCRs. This patented technology provides a powerful functional assay for detecting a compound's activity against known and/or orphan GPCR targets. Transfluor is optimized for HCS; secondary screening and lead optimization.


Product Instruction:

Works with all GPCRs (known, orphan, Gi, Gs, Go, Gq)

Single read-out for all GPCRs (Gi, Gs, Go, Gq)
No GPCR labeling or tagging
Requires no prior knowledge of interacting G-protein
Eliminates the need for multiple GPCR assays
Ideal for high content screening (HCS) analysis
Validated in over 100 GPCRs (from all classes)
Compatible with most commercially available HCS instruments
