GR-GAL4 Reporter (Luc)-HEK293 Cell Line (Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway)

The Glucocorticoid Receptor Pathway GAL4 Reporter (Luc) - HEK293 Cell Line contains a_x000D_firefly luciferase gene under the control of glucocorticoid receptor ligand binding domain that is_x000D_fused to the DNA binding domain (DBD) of GAL4 (GAL4 DBD-GR) stably integrated into_x000D_HEK293 cells. This fusion construct activates firefly luciferase expression under the control of a_x000D_multimerized GAL4 upstream activation sequence (UAS). This allows for specific detection of_x000D_glucocorticoid-induced activation of the glucocorticoid receptor without the need for individual_x000D_transcriptional targets and with low cross-reactivity for other nuclear receptor pathways. This cell_x000D_line is validated for response to stimulation of dexamethasone and to the treatment with_x000D_mifepristone, an inhibitor of the glucocorticoid signaling pathway.
