Human LXRb Reporter Assay Kit
Product Description and Product Data
This is an all-inclusive cell-based luciferase reporter assay kit targeting the Human Liver X Receptor Beta (LXR). INDIGO’s LXR Beta reporter assay utilizes proprietary mammalian cells that have been engineered to provide constitutive expression of the LXR Beta. In addition to LXR Beta Reporter Cells, this kit provides two optimized media for use during cell culture and in diluting the user’s test samples, a reference agonist, Luciferase Detection Reagent, and a cell culture-ready assay plate. The principal application of this assay is in the screening of test samples to quantify any functional activity, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against human LXR Beta. This kit provides researchers with clear, reproducible results, exceptional cell viability post-thaw, and consistent results lot to lot. Kits must be stored at -80C. Do not store in liquid nitrogen. Note: reporter cells cannot be refrozen or maintained in extended culture.

Data
Target Background
Liver X receptor β (LXRβ) is a member of the nuclear receptor family of transcription factors. LXRβ is encoded by the NR1H2 gene (nuclear receptor subfamily 1, group H, member 2). The Liver X receptors (LXRs) were originally identified as orphan members of the nuclear receptor superfamily because their ligands were unknown. Like other receptors in the family, LXRs heterodimerize with the Retinoid X Receptor and bind to specific response elements (LXREs) characterized by direct repeats separated by 4 nucleotides.
These LXRβ Reporter Assay Systems utilize proprietary mammalian cells engineered to express human NR1H2 protein, commonly referred to as LXRβ.
The principle application of this LXRβ assay product is in the screening of test samples to quantify functional activities, either agonist or antagonist, that they may exert against the human liver x receptor beta.
