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.

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 MCF7 cell line (Human wild-type MCF7 cell line ab288560). 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.

FOXA2 also known as HNF3B is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in gene regulation. This protein has a mass of approximately 47 kDa and is expressed in various tissues including the liver pancreas and lung. Researchers detect FOXA2 using techniques like ELISA for protein quantification. Its function involves regulating the expression of genes critical for development and metabolism.
FOXA2 influences important processes in embryonic development and organogenesis. It does not typically act as part of a larger complex but independently binds to DNA enabling the transcription of target genes. FOXA2 affects liver function by regulating genes involved in glucose and lipid metabolism and it also plays a part in the differentiation of cells in development stages.
FOXA2 operates within pathways like the insulin signaling pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. It collaborates with other transcription factors like FOXA1 and FOXA3 to maintain metabolic homeostasis. In the Wnt pathway FOXA2 impacts cell fate decisions essential for embryonic patterning and development.
Alterations in FOXA2 expression have connections to conditions such as diabetes and liver diseases. Changes in FOXA2 expression could disrupt liver metabolism leading to metabolic disorders. Moreover FOXA2 ties to the regulation of other proteins like PDX1 in the context of diabetes where it plays a role in insulin biosynthesis and pancreatic cell function.
