Western blot : Anti-Glutaminase antibody [EP7212] ab156876 staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti GAPDH ab8245 loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. Three specific bands are detected by ab156876. We believe these correspond to isoform 1 (KGA), isoform 3 (GAC) and the mature mitochondrial subunits. Bands were observed at 68, 60 and 55 kDa in Wild-type MCF7 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in GLS knockout MCF7 cell line. To generate this image, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 5 % Milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse 680RD at 1/20,000 dilution.

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 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.

Supplementary information

Glutaminase also known as GLS or GLS1 is an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glutamine to glutamate an important step in cellular nitrogen and energy metabolism. This enzyme weighs approximately 65 kDa and is expressed in various tissues particularly in the brain kidney and liver. Glutaminase exists in two isoforms GLS1 and GLS2 with GLS1 being the more studied due to its role in cancer metabolism.
Biological function summary

Glutaminase plays a central role in cellular processes by facilitating the production of glutamate which is an important neurotransmitter in the brain and a precursor for the synthesis of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It is not part of a larger complex but acts independently in the mitochondrial matrix where it performs the glutaminase reaction. The activity of this enzyme is monitored closely because it affects multiple cellular functions and has implications in many diseases.

Pathways

Glutaminase is instrumental in the glutaminolysis and tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycles. These pathways are essential for cellular energy production and biosynthesis. GLS1 activity influences other proteins such as alanine transaminase (ALT) and aspartate transaminase (AST) which also play roles in amino acid metabolism and energy production. Glutaminase inhibitors have been explored as potential therapeutic agents by disrupting the glutaminolysis pathway in cancer cells leading to decreased tumor growth.

Glutaminase has a significant link to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer GLS1 activity is often upregulated as tumor cells require increased glutamine metabolism for growth and survival making GLS1 inhibitors a target in cancer therapy. Neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's disease also show altered glutamate levels implicating glutaminase in disease progression. These disorders highlight the enzyme's potential connections with proteins like NMDA receptors in the brain where glutamate acts as a neurotransmitter affecting synaptic activity.

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. <p>1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.<br>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.<br>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.<br>4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO<sub>2</sub>. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.<br>5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x10<sup>4</sup> cells/cm<sup>2</sup>. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.</p>

Subculture guidelines
  • Slow to trypsinise.
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 5-7x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

MEM + 10% FBS + 0.01 mg/ml bovine insulin
