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.

CRIM1 also known as cysteine-rich motor neuron 1 protein has a molecular mass of around 110 kDa. As a transmembrane protein it localizes mainly to the endoplasmic reticulum. Researchers have detected its expression in various tissues including the retina kidneys brain and spinal cord. It contains a distinctive cysteine-rich motif and plays roles in cellular adhesion and growth factor regulation.
The function of CRIM1 extends to the modulation of growth factor activity particularly by interacting with bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs). This interaction suggests its potential involvement in developmental processes. Studies have indicated that CRIM1 might participate in forming protein complexes related to cell surface receptors influencing cell signaling pathways that govern growth and differentiation.
CRIM1's involvement in BMP signaling and angiogenesis highlights its significance within these biological pathways. BMPs which are growth factors play a part in bone and cartilage development therefore CRIM1's regulatory action can affect these processes. Additionally CRIM1 interacts with proteins like noggin in the BMP pathway to modulate cellular responses to extracellular signals contributing to developmental and morphogenic outcomes.
CRIM1 links to congenital abnormalities and ocular disorders. Its known interaction with BMPs associates it with conditions like kidney dysplasia where the disruption of normal signaling can lead to organ malformations. In the context of eye development CRIM1's interaction with BMPs and noggin is important for retinal and lens development. Understanding CRIM1's role in these pathways could offer insights into therapeutic targets for congenital and degenerative diseases.
