SUCNR1/GPR91 Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

GPR91 (formerly known as P2U2) is a G protein-coupled, dicarboxylic acid succinate receptor. It has a high level of expression in the kidney, predominantly in the proximal tubules, and localizes to the plasma membrane. It has also been found at low levels in the liver and the spleen. GPR91 functions as a citric acid cycle intermediate succinate receptor. Two signaling pathways result from GPR91 activation, the pertussis-toxin-sensitive Gi/Go pathway and the pertussis-toxin-insensitive Gq pathway. Four amino acid residues are necessary for GPR91 activation by succinate: Arg 99, His 103, Arg 252 and Arg 281. GPR91 plays an important role in the succinate-induced hypertensive effect and may be involved in renovascular hypertension, a disease linked to diabetes, renal failure and atherosclerosis.
