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.

Supplementary information

Calmodulin 2 (CALM2) is a calcium-binding messenger protein involved in many cellular processes. It is also known as CALM and shows a molecular weight of approximately 16.7 kDa. CALM2 interacts with various protein targets to regulate intracellular calcium levels. This protein is ubiquitous meaning it is expressed in many tissues throughout the body which reflects its essential role in cellular functions.
Biological function summary

CALM2 acts as a critical mediator in calcium signaling pathways. It forms complexes with other proteins to transmit calcium signals that are important for activities such as muscle contraction cell division and memory formation. CALM2 activates various enzymes ion channels and other proteins through its calcium-binding ability thereby translating calcium ion fluctuations into cellular responses.

Pathways

The involvement of CALM2 in calcium-dependent pathways like the calcium signaling pathway and the MAPK/ERK pathway is significant. It interacts with proteins such as calcineurin and kinases like calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) facilitating the transmission of signals inside cells. Its role in these pathways highlights its importance in regulating diverse cellular activities including cell proliferation and gene expression.

CALM2's dysregulation or mutation links to conditions such as cardiac arrhythmia and Alzheimer's disease. Mutations in the CALM2 protein can affect other calcium-binding proteins such as troponin in the context of cardiac diseases leading to abnormal heart rhythms. Additionally its altered activity in neurons associates with Alzheimer's disease indicating a connection to tau protein malfunctions and calcium dysregulation in neurodegenerative disorders.
