In contrast to KCC1, where its activity is stimulated by osmotic swelling, KCC2 activity is increased when stimulated with NEM (N-ethylmaleimide). This cell line is suitable for central nervous system studies in the potential roles of KCC2 in ion homeostatsis. The KCC2-overexpressing cell line is generated by inserting the ORF of the rat KCC2 in the mammalian expression vector pIRES-Puro2.
