Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

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.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium
DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Cryopreservation medium
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type HeLa cell line (ab255928). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.

We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

Activity summary

ARL8B also known as ADP-ribosylation factor-like protein 8B is a small GTPase with an approximate molecular mass of 22 kDa. It mainly localizes to the lysosomal membrane. This protein plays an important role in the regulation of intracellular trafficking and lysosome positioning. ARL8B is expressed across many tissues suggesting its involvement in broad cellular functions.

Biological function summary

ARL8B helps manage the proper function of lysosomes by facilitating their movement and fusion with other cellular compartments. It forms a complex with other proteins such as PLEKHM2 and HOPS which are necessary for tethering events during lysosomal trafficking. This protein contributes to cellular processes such as autophagy and antigen presentation influencing the cell's ability to maintain homeostasis and effectively respond to external stimuli.

Pathways

ARL8B participates in the autophagy pathway and plays a part in the lysosome-related processes. It works closely with proteins like the kinesin motor proteins which drive the movement of lysosomes along microtubules. Through these interactions ARL8B coordinates with other autophagy-related proteins to ensure efficient degradation of cellular debris and recycling of components which are important for cellular health and function.

Associated diseases and disorders

ARL8B has links to neurodegenerative diseases and immune system dysfunctions. Dysregulation of lysosomal positioning and movement caused by abnormal ARL8B function can lead to conditions such as Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease and impaired immune responses. Furthermore ARL8B interacts with proteins like Rab7a which can have implications in disease pathways emphasizing its significant role in maintaining cellular balance.
