In order to test the function of calcium ion response element, P_min5*NFAT_IL4 is loaded onto a vector which is equipped with sleeping beauty transposon site and nano luciferase (Nluc) reporter gene downstream. Once the fluorescent signal of Nluc expression be detected, this marks the successful binding of calcium ions and P_min5*NFAT_IL4. '''(Figure 1)'''

In Figure 1, we can find that the expression level of Nluc gene in cells supplemented with P_min5*NFAT_IL4 is significantly increased compared with the blank control, which proves that the calcium pathway responded successfully.

Usage and Biology
MT2(melatonin receptor type 2) is an integral membrane protein that is a G protein coupled receptor (GPCR), 7-transmembrane receptor. It is found primarily in the retina and brain. It is thought to participate in light-dependent functions in the retina and may be involved in the neurobiological effects of melatonin.[1]
MT2 has been reported to modulate many physiological processes, especially those related to sleep and circadian rhythm regulation, but also in retina physiology, pain and neuronal and immune functions.
