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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.

Notes

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab255450). 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

Cbr1 also known as carbonyl reductase 1 is an important enzyme in the reduction of carbonyl compounds to their alcohol forms. It weighs around 30 kDa and exhibits a wide expression across various tissues but is notably present in the liver and heart. The enzyme acts as a monomer and follows an NADPH-dependent mechanism for its action playing an important role in the detoxification of xenobiotics and the metabolism of endogenous compounds.

Biological function summary

Carbonyl reductase 1 functions in the metabolism of prostaglandins steroids and aromatic aldehydes. Cbr1 is not known to form part of a larger protein complex but acts independently to execute its enzymatic roles. It exhibits broad substrate specificity allowing it to reduce a variety of carbonyl groups which influences several physiological processes such as lipid metabolism and hormone synthesis.

Pathways

The enzyme plays an important role in the prostaglandin metabolic pathway where it reduces prostaglandin E2. Additionally Cbr1 interacts within the retinol metabolism pathway. In these pathways it functions alongside proteins such as aldo-keto reductases and aldose reductase sharing substrate specificity which impacts cellular responses and metabolic regulation.

Associated diseases and disorders

Cbr1 influences the development of drug resistance in cancer therapy particularly in anthracycline-treated cancers due to its role in drug metabolism. It also associates with cardiovascular conditions where its metabolic activity might affect oxidative stress levels. Connections with other proteins such as superoxide dismutases link Cbr1 to oxidative stress response pathways impacting disease progression and therapy outcomes.
