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 HeLa cell line (ab255448). 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.
Cryopreservation cell medium: Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Culture medium: DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
Initial handling guidelines:

5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x10E4 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 2x10E4 cells/cm2 is recommended.
• Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
• Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x10E4 cells/cm2.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

GNAI3 also known as the guanine nucleotide-binding protein G(i) alpha-3 subunit is part of the heterotrimeric G protein family. Its molecular weight is approximately 41 kDa. This protein plays a role in transmitting signals from extracellular stimuli through cell-surface receptors to the intracellular signaling pathways. GNAI3 is expressed in various tissues including the brain and heart where it facilitates important cellular responses by interacting with other proteins in signaling pathways.
GNAI3 contributes to inhibiting adenylate cyclase activity reducing cyclic AMP levels and therefore modulating downstream signaling events. It forms part of the heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein complex which consists of alpha beta and gamma subunits. By interacting with this complex GNAI3 regulates processes like cell division immune response and sensory perception demonstrating its diverse functional roles within the cell.
GNAI3 is involved in the G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling pathway which is essential for transmitting numerous extracellular signals to the inside of the cell. GNAI3 modulates signals from neurotransmitters and hormones that activate this pathway. Additionally GNAI3 interacts with other proteins such as beta-arrestins which are important for receptor desensitization and signal termination within the GPCR signaling system.
Researchers have linked GNAI3 disruptions to auriculocondylar syndrome and certain forms of cancer. In auriculocondylar syndrome mutations in GNAI3 contribute to craniofacial abnormalities. Additionally alterations in its signaling pathways might contribute to tumor progression by failing to regulate cell proliferation properly. GNAI3 interacts with proteins including RGS proteins which help in temporally regulating signal transduction showing its significance in health and disease contexts.
