Overview
Fluorescent β2 antagonist
Excitation wavelength: 633 nm
Emission wavelength: 650 nm
Properties
ab118170 was shown to antagonize the activity of the non-selective β agonist, isoprenaline, in three recombinant CHO cell lines expressing either the Human β1, β2 or β3 receptor and a cyclic AMP-responsive secreted placental alkaline phosphatase (SPAP) reporter gene.
Addition of ab118170 to the basal or forskolin-stimulated cells did not significantly alter basal and stimulated SPAP levels.
To determine the KD for ab118170 at β1, β2 and β3 receptors, cells were treated with isoprenaline alone, or in the presence of ab118170, and the cyclic AMP-induced expression of SPAP measured.
The KD was calculated from the rightward shift of the agonist response curve.
