Rat Glucocorticoid Receptor (rGR; nr3c1)
Also available in: Human, Mouse
INDIGO’s Rat Glucocorticoid Receptor (nr3c1) nuclear receptor assay utilizes proprietary non-human cells engineered to provide constitutive high-level expression of full-length, unmodified Rat Glucocorticoid Receptor (nr3c1), a ligand-dependent transcription factor, commonly referred to as GR.
DNA binding, recruitment and assembly of the co-activators and accessory factors required to form a functional transcription complex, culminating in expression of the reporter gene.
Unlike some other cell-based assay strategies, the readout from INDIGO’s reporter cells demands the same orchestration of all intracellular molecular interactions and events that can be expected to occur in vivo.

Service Assays: Human, Rat, Mouse
The primary application of INDIGO’s cell-based nuclear receptor assays are to quantitatively assess the bioactivity of a test compound as an agonist (activator) or antagonist (inhibition of an agonist response) of a given receptor. Service assays include a positive control reference compound and ‘vehicle’ control for every experiment. A formal study report and all data files are provided to the client upon completion of the study.
