Welcome to Tanso Biosciences, a specialized provider of functional assays for G-protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs). Our technology enables sensitive evaluation of GPCR-induced signals in proprietary reporter cells, offering specific readouts across various animal species, including humans, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs, and macaque monkeys. We provide customized assays for pharmaceuticals, biotech companies, food companies, and academia globally. Additionally, we conduct in-house drug discovery projects. Explore our site to learn more about our services and how we can support your research.
Core Business
Drug Discovery Enterprise
We take advantage of our all-around assay technology and engage in drug discovery for orphan GPCRs.
Contract Services
Panel assays, concentration dependence analysis, and other functional assays for > 550 human and mouse GPCRs.
Key Features
Potency-Oriented
Characterizes compounds' potency, not affinity, on the G-protein pathways of the target GPCR in various modes
Super-Sensitive
Dramatically and specifically amplifies G-protein-dependent signals
All-Around
All GPCRs are amenable in single assay format, regardless of Gα proteins coupled or even animal species
Assay Platform
Uses
- On-target and off-target screening for drug discovery
- Cross-species comparison
