DescriptionChemiScreen™ Membrane Preparation
Recombinant Human EP4 Prostanoid Receptor
OverviewHuman EP4
Background InformationProstanoids are a series of arachidonic acid metabolites produced by the action of cyclooxygenase and further modified by isomerases and syntheses. Cells rapidly secrete prostanoids after synthesis, whereupon the prostanoids bind to a family of 8 GPCRs to exert their biological effects (Narumiya and FitzGerald, 2001). The prostaglandin PGE2 causes pain, vasodilation, immunosuppression of T cells, bone remodeling and promotion of carcinogenesis. Four related GPCRs, EP1, EP2, EP3 and EP4, each bind to PGE2, but the different G protein coupling status of each receptor leads to distinct biological effects. EP4 couples primarily to Gs to increase intracellular cAMP levels. During neonatal development, EP4 participates in closure of the ductus arteriosus, a process required for switching circulation from the placenta to the lungs (Nguyen et al., 1997). In addition, EP4 mediates PGE2-induced bone formation by promoting osteoblastogenesis, and selective EP4 agonists are being evaluated as potential treatments for osteoporosis (Yoshida et al., 2002). Chemicon's EP4 membrane preparations are crude membrane preparations made from our proprietary stable recombinant cell lines to ensure high-level of GPCR surface expression; thus, they are ideal HTS tools for screening of antagonists of EP4 interactions with prostaglandin E2. The membrane preparations exhibit a Kd of 1.27-1.85 nM for [3H]-Prostaglandin E2. With 5 µg/well EP4 Membrane Prep and 1.5 nM [3H]-Prostaglandin E2, a greater than 3-fold signal-to-background ratio was obtained.

Biological Information
Entrez Gene Number
Entrez Gene SummaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the G-protein coupled receptor family. This protein is one of four receptors identified for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). This receptor can activate T-cell factor signaling. It has been shown to mediate PGE2 induced expression of early growth response 1 (EGR1), regulate the level and stability of cyclooxygenase-2 mRNA, and lead to the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase-3. Knockout studies in mice suggest that this receptor may be involved in the neonatal adaptation of circulatory system, osteoporosis, as well as initiation of skin immune responses.

UniProt Number
UniProt SummaryFUNCTION: SwissProt: P35408 # Receptor for prostaglandin E2 (PGE2). The activity of this receptor is mediated by G(s) proteins that stimulate adenylate cyclase. Has a relaxing effect on smooth muscle. May play an important role in regulating renal hemodynamics, intestinal epithelial transport, adrenal aldosterone secretion, and uterine function.
SIZE: 488 amino acids; 53119 Da
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: High in intestine and in peripheral blood mononuclear cells; low in lung, kidney, thymus, uterus, vasculature and brain. Not found in liver, heart, retina oe skeletal muscle.
SIMILARITY: SwissProt: P35408 ## Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
Incubation ConditionsMembranes are mixed with radioactive ligand and unlabeled competitor (see Figures 1 and 2 for concentrations tested) in binding buffer in a nonbinding 96-well plate, and incubated for 1-2 h. Prior to filtration, a GF/C 96-well filter plate is coated with 0.33% polyethyleneimine for 30 min, then washed with 50mM HEPES, pH 7.4, 0.5% BSA. Binding reaction is transferred to the filter plate, and washed 3 times (1 mL per well per wash) with Wash Buffer. The plate is dried and counted.

Binding buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 5 mM MgCl2, 1 mM CaCl2, 0.2% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C
Radioligand: [3H] prostaglandin E2 (Perkin Elmer # NET428)
Wash Buffer: 50 mM Hepes, pH 7.4, 500mM NaCl , 0.1% BSA, filtered and stored at 4°C.
