ETV5 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, 2 bp deletion in exon 2 and Insertion of the selection cassette in exon 2.
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.

The ERM (Etv5) protein also known as ERM products or ERM Boston in some contexts functions as a transcription factor within the ETS family of proteins. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 57 kDa. Expressed in a variety of tissues including the brain and reproductive organs Etv5 plays an important role in regulating gene expression by binding to specific DNA sequences. Its activities involve promoting transcription of genes vital for development and cellular differentiation.
The ERM (Etv5) protein influences numerous developmental processes and cellular states. It participates in the MAP kinase signaling cascade where it facilitates responses to growth factors. By serving as a component in several regulatory complexes Etv5 modulates the expression of genes that control cell proliferation and survival. This activity is important for tissue development and maintenance especially in stem and progenitor cells.
The ERM (Etv5) protein interacts with MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways essential for cellular growth and survival. These pathways often connect to the regulation of cell cycle and apoptosis involving proteins like Bcl-2 and c-Jun. Etv5 helps mediate the cellular response to external stimuli via these pathways influencing both proliferation and differentiation.
Irregular expression of the ERM (Etv5) protein correlates with conditions such as cancer and infertility. Overexpression or mutations in Etv5 have been linked to various cancers including prostate cancer where its interaction with proteins like PTEN influences tumor growth and progression. In reproductive disorders Etv5 plays a role in testicular germ cell development with disruptions potentially leading to infertility.
