| Initial Handling Guidelines | 1. Thaw the vial in 37ºC water bath approximately 1-2 minutes. 2. Transfer the cell suspension to a 15 ml/50 ml conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing pre-warmed culture medium. Wash vial with an additional culture medium to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 × g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 ml pre-warmed culture medium and count cell number. Seed cells in an appropriate cell culture flask at a density of 2×104 cells/cm2. This should allow for confluency within 48 hours. 4. Incubate the culture at 37ºC incubator with 5% CO2. Cultures should be monitored daily. |
| Subculture Guidelines | Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence. A partial media change 24 hours prior to subculture may be helpful to encourage growth. |
| Applications | Western blot. Predicted molecular weight: 61 kDa. |
| Description | Human wild-type HEK293T cell line as the recommended control. |
Target Info
| Cellular Localization | Mitochondrion outer membrane and cytoplasm. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in the liver, kidney and testis. Isoform 2 and isoform 3 are expressed specifically in testis and fetal liver, but not in the adult liver. |
| Target Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the FGGY kinase family. |
