Legend: CHO cells transfected with the human S1P4 receptor for S1P (Edg6) were serum stared for 4 hours and challenged with S1P or LPA. PMA was used as a positive control for Phospho ERK 1/2 production. PHOSPHO ERK 1/2 was detemined to be an excellent surrogate marker for stimulation with S1P compared with traditional methods for GPCR signaling such as intracellular Calcium flux.

Protocol Summary: Not to be used in place of detailed protocol. See kit manual for complete protocol.
