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
- DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
- Cryopreservation medium
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.
Storage

- Activity summary
Glyoxalase 2 also known as GLO2 is an important enzyme in the glyoxalase system. The protein's molecular mass is approximately 29 kDa. It catalyzes the conversion of S-D-lactoylglutathione to glutathione and D-lactic acid allowing the detoxification of methylglyoxal a byproduct of glycolysis. GLO2 is expressed in many tissues with higher levels in liver and kidney reflecting its importance in detoxifying processes.
- Biological function summary
Glyoxalase 2 has a significant role in cellular detoxification and maintenance of redox balance. As part of the glyoxalase system it closely works with another enzyme glyoxalase 1 to detoxify methylglyoxal. Through this interaction GLO2 helps prevent harmful effects caused by excessive levels of advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) protecting cells from potential damage.
- Pathways
Glyoxalase 2 is involved in the methylglyoxal degradation pathway within the cellular glucose metabolism process. Specifically it partners with glyoxalase 1 in this detoxification route. Additionally GLO2 contributes to glutathione metabolism where it plays a critical part alongside glutathione peroxidases which further regulate oxidative stress.
- Associated diseases and disorders
GLO2 is associated with diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases. Altered levels of glyoxalase 2 impact methylglyoxal levels and have implications in diabetic complications through protein glycation. Furthermore studies indicate its potential link with Alzheimer's disease where oxidative stress and AGEs accumulation play central roles. GLO2's connection with glyoxalase 1 remains significant as both participate in these pathological states.
