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.
- Culture medium
- McCoY5a + 10% FBS
- Cryopreservation medium
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Storage
- Shipped at conditions
- Dry Ice
- Appropriate short-term storage conditions
- -196°C
- Appropriate long-term storage conditions
- -196°C
Notes
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 HCT116 cell line (ab288559). 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.

Supplementary info
- This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.
- Activity summary
GATA4 also known as GATA-binding protein 4 is a transcription factor that plays a significant role in gene expression regulation. It weighs approximately 44 kDa. This protein expresses mainly in cells of the heart gonads and liver. GATA4 functions through binding to the GATA sequence on DNA regulating various genes. The protein is well known for its involvement in cardiac development and function.
- Biological function summary
GATA4 interacts with other transcription factors and co-factors to regulate developmental processes. It often forms complexes with proteins such as NKX2-5 and TBX5 influencing the expression of cardiac-specific genes. These interactions lead to tissue-specific gene expression control important in the differentiation and functioning of heart cells. GATA4 is also involved in the regulation of genes responsible for cell growth and apoptosis contributing to tissue homeostasis.
- Pathways
GATA4 is a notable component of cardiac development and cellular differentiation pathways. It plays an integral role in the Wnt signaling pathway influencing heart development through gene transcription modification. GATA4 also collaborates with proteins such as MEF2 and BMP2 coordinating cardiac muscle differentiation. These pathways highlight its pivotal role in proper cardiovascular formation and function.
- Associated diseases and disorders
GATA4 mutations and dysregulation have links to congenital heart defects such as atrial septal defect (ASD). This condition associates with altered gene expression during heart development leading to structural abnormalities. GATA4 also relates to conditions like hypertrophic cardiomyopathy where its interaction with proteins like MYH7 suggests a complex network influencing cardiac hypertrophy. Understanding these connections is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies.
