Join our application scientists for an introduction to G protein-coupled receptors and the assays, applications and technology systems used to detect them.
Topics to be covered include:
- Introduction to GPCRs and cell signaling via G-proteins
- Readouts for GPCR activity, including:
- Calcium mobilization
- cAMP
- Assays used to detect GPCR activity, including:
- Fluorescent calcium mobilization assays
- Aequorin calcium assays
- TR-FRET
- ELISA
- Microplate readers for detection of GPCR assays
