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 info

- Activity summary
The GMPR1 protein also known as guanosine monophosphate reductase 1 acts mechanistically as an enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of guanosine monophosphate (GMP) to inosine monophosphate (IMP). This reaction is part of the purine nucleotide cycle important for maintaining the balance of nucleotide pools in cells. GMPR1 has a molecular mass of approximately 37 kDa. Expression of GMPR1 is detected in various tissues with significant levels present in liver and kidney tissues.
- Biological function summary
GMPR1 plays a critical role in purine metabolism by regulating the intracellular concentrations of guanine nucleotides. It does not work as part of a larger complex but functions independently to achieve its effects on nucleotide turnover. This protein ensures efficient recycling of guanine nucleotides which is important for cellular processes such as DNA and RNA synthesis signalling and energy metabolism.
- Pathways
GMPR1 is involved mainly in the purine salvage pathway and the nucleotide degradation pathway. Through these pathways GMPR1 links with other proteins like hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HGPRT) which also participates in nucleotide salvage. The balance achieved in these pathways is essential for cellular proliferation and energy conservation highlighting GMPR1's role in overall cellular homeostasis.
- Associated diseases and disorders
GMPR1 has connections to conditions like gout and certain types of cancer where there is an imbalance in purine metabolism. The misregulation of GMPR1 potentially affecting the pathways it participates in may lead to excess uric acid production seen in gout or altered nucleotide metabolism in tumorigenesis. Additionally proteins such as HGPRT which interacts within the same purine pathways also exhibit associations with these disorders further illustrating the significant impact of purine metabolism in human health.
