ADP-ribosylation factor 5, ARF5_HUMAN
ARF5 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, 13 bp deletion in exon 1 and 1 bp insertion in exon 1.
Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.
1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

The ADP-ribosylation factor 5 (ARF5) protein also known by its primary name is an important part of the ARF family. It has a mass of around 20 kDa. ARF5 plays a role in regulating vesicle trafficking systems particularly linked with the Golgi apparatus. It is found broadly expressed in numerous tissues with high levels observed in the brain and testes. This small GTP-binding protein is associated with intracellular signaling cascades and cellular communication.
ARF5 is involved in modulating key cellular processes including membrane trafficking and lipid metabolism. It directly participates in the formation of vesicle coats by aiding the recruitment of coat protein complexes. ARF5 also interacts within cellular complexes impacting the transport of cargo in the secretory pathway. It also affects actin cytoskeleton remodeling thereby influencing cell shape and motility.
The ARF5 protein contributes to both the COPI and clathrin-coated vesicle formation pathways. It functions within intricate signaling networks coordinating with other small GTPases such as ARF1. ARF5's activity links to pivotal roles within these pathways affecting protein and lipid sorting. These pathways are vital for maintaining cellular homeostasis and facilitating effective intracellular transport.
ARF5's dysfunction has been linked to neurodegenerative disorders including Alzheimer's disease. Variations in the expression or mutations of ARF5 might contribute to the disease pathology by impairing vesicular transport and potentially interacting with proteins like tau. Furthermore ARF5 may relate to metabolic syndromes due to its involvement in lipid metabolism with implications for body fat distribution and lipid-related diseases.
