Calcium mobilization is one of the fastest and most sensitive ways to measure GPCR activation, but no single readout fits every question. This article walks through how calcium assays work, compares dye-based, aequorin, and genetically encoded detection approaches, and shows how to match the right cell model and assay format to your drug discovery goals.
Dr. GPCR and Eurofins DiscoverX announce a strategic partnership to accelerate GPCR drug discovery by expanding access to validated, industry-standard cell-based assay platforms supporting pharmacological characterization, screening, and regulatory-compliant development.
