Product details

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab288558). 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.

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.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

Ezrin also known as cytovillin or villin-2 is a protein belonging to the ezrin-radixin-moesin (ERM) family. It is approximately 81 kDa in molecular weight. Ezrin plays a critical role in linking the actin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. This interaction occurs through its ability to bind to membrane proteins and phospholipids facilitating structural support and signal transduction. Ezrin is widely expressed in epithelial tissues but it also occurs in other cell types such as lymphocytes and osteoclasts.
Biological function summary

Ezrin functions as a membrane-microfilament linker and is essential for maintaining cell shape adhesion and motility. It is an integral component of many cellular structures including microvilli and ruffles. Ezrin’s activity often involves forming complexes with other proteins such as EBP50 and F-actin which are fundamental for its role in cellular morphogenesis. These interactions allow ezrin to regulate membrane surface structure and cell surface organization.

Pathways

Ezrin participates in various signaling pathways that are essential for cell migration and invasion. One key pathway is the Rho family of GTPases which regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Ezrin interacts with proteins like Rho-associated kinase (ROCK) that influence cell contraction and motility. Additionally ezrin is involved in the MAPK/ERK pathway which influences cell growth and survival by interacting with other signaling molecules.

Ezrin shows significant relevance to cancer progression and metastasis particularly in conditions like osteosarcoma. Ezrin overexpression correlates with increased metastatic potential and poor clinical outcomes. It also has implications in allergic diseases due to its role in immune cell function. In these contexts ezrin interacts with SRC family kinases which are important for transmitting signals from cell-surface receptors to downstream pathways influencing disease development and progression.
