This product is a HEK293 stable cell line that stably expresses tag-free full-length human CALCRL and RAMP2. Upon agonist binding to human CALCRL/RAMP2 (AM1 receptor), the receptor activates Gs, which stimulates adenylate cyclase and increases intracellular cAMP, leading to elevated PKA activity. Therefore, receptor activity can be easily quantified in live cells in a dose-response manner by measuring cAMP or CRE-luciferase signal. The cell line has been functionally validated with positive agonist Adrenomedullin. It is suitable for HTS and receptor functional evaluation assays.

Figure 1. Recombinant CALCR/RAMP2 CRE-Luc HEK293 stably expressing CALCRL/RAMP2
The median fluorescence intensity of CALCRL is 4842 and RAMP2 is 4.14E5, which are significantly higher than parental cell controls. This result verifies stable CALCRL/RAMP2 expression on the cell membrane.

Figure 2. Dose Response of Adrenomedullin(1-52) in CALCRL/RAMP2 CRE-Luc HEK293(C14)
The agonist shows potent activation with EC50 = 3.3 nM, demonstrating functional AM1 receptor activity for compound screening.

Figure 3. HTRF cAMP Assay with CALCRL/RAMP2 CRE-Luc HEK293(C14)
The ligand triggers a dose-dependent cAMP response with an EC50 of 12.12 nM, validating robust and functional receptor activity for agonist screening and pharmacological profiling.
Cell Resuscitation
1)Rapidly thaw the frozen cells in a 37 °C water bath for approximately 60 seconds. Once thawed (which may take slightly less or more than 60 seconds), immediately transfer the cell suspension from the cryovial into a 15 mL centrifuge tube containing 10 mL of pre-warmed HEK293 Human CALCRL/RAMP2(AM1) CRE-Luc Cell Line complete culture medium.
2)Centrifuge cells at 1000 rpm for 5 min to remove medium, then resuspend cells in 5 mL of pre-warmed complete medium.
3)Transfer the cell suspension into a T25 culture flask and incubate at 37 °C with 5% CO₂.
4)After approximately 24–36 hours, replace the medium or passage the cells to remove non-adherent dead cells.
Subculturing procedure
1)When the cell density reaches the appropriate confluency for passaging, wash the cells with PBS, then add 1 mL trypsin to detach the cells. When more than 80% of the cells detach upon gently tapping the culture flask, add complete culture medium to terminate digestion. Gently pipette to obtain a single-cell suspension, transfer to a 15 mL centrifuge tube, and centrifuge at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes.
2)Discard supernatant after centrifugation. Resuspend cells in fresh medium to a single-cell suspension and transfer to a new culture flask for continued growth.
Cell Freezing
After trypsinization and centrifugation of cells from each T75 flask or 10 cm culture dish, discard the supernatant. Add 2 mL of cryopreservation medium (90% FBS + 10% DMSO), gently resuspend thoroughly, and aliquot into two cryovials. Immediately place the cryovials into a controlled-rate freezing container (e.g., Nalgene 5100-0001), fill with isopropanol to the indicated level, and store at −80 °C. After 24 hours, transfer the cryovials to liquid nitrogen for long-term storage.
