Pair with a GPCR Signaling Assay

To look at receptor signaling, our GPCR second messenger sensors for cAMP, DAG, PIP2, Calcium, and arrestin can easily be co-transduced along with your receptor.

More information on our Gs, Gi, and Gq signaling assays can be found on our GPCR Biology page, and some example data is shown below.
