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.

- Activity summary
BZW1 also known as Protein Orf is a member of the basic leucine zipper (bZIP) family of proteins. The mass of BZW1 is approximately 42 kDa. It is mainly expressed in the nucleus of cells. BZW1 plays a role in the regulation of transcription and translation processes. This regulation occurs through its interaction with specific sequences on the DNA and RNA contributing to the modification of gene expression.
- Biological function summary
BZW1 influences cell growth and proliferation by engaging in the regulation of gene transcription. It can interact with other proteins to form complexes that modulate these processes. BZW1 adjusts protein synthesis rates by acting at the level of translational control affecting cellular responses to different growth conditions. Its function supports overall cellular homeostasis by ensuring proteins are produced as needed.
- Pathways
BZW1 is integral to both the mTOR and eIF2 signaling pathways which are critical in regulating protein synthesis and stress responses. It is related to other proteins like mTOR and eIF2α within these pathways and its activity can influence how cells respond to nutrient availability and environmental changes.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Alterations in BZW1 expression have associations with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer dysregulation of BZW1 can affect the cell cycle by impacting the proteins involved like p53 thereby promoting uncontrolled cell proliferation. In neurodegenerative diseases changes in its function can disrupt protein homeostasis leading to the accumulation of proteins that contribute to disease progression and pathways involving proteins like α-synuclein.
