AT2 receptor ligand binding assay
Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. It acts through at least two types of receptors. The type 1 receptor is thought to mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. This receptor may play a role in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmias following restoration of blood flow to ischemic or infarcted myocardium.
Although angiotensin II has been viewed as a blood-borne hormone produced in the circulation, it is also formed in many tissues such as the brain, kidney, heart, and blood vessels, where angiotensin II functions as a paracrine and autocrine hormone.

The binding assay starter pack consists of three references, the labeled cells, the fluorescent ligand and the Tag-lite buffer. Each component must be ordered separately. The cells express the SNAP-receptor labeled with terbium cryptate (labeling performed with Tag-lite SNAP-Lumi4 Tb). The labeled cells are proposed in a 1 million cell pack, to achieve a minimum of 100 tests at a cell density of 10,000 cells/well.
