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 HCT116 cell line (ab273730). 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.

KLF5 (Kruppel-like factor 5) also referred to as BTEB2 is a transcription factor with a molecular mass of approximately 54 kDa. It belongs to the KLF family characterized by its three C2H2-type zinc finger domains which bind to specific DNA sequences regulating gene expression. KLF5 displays ubiquitous expression but is highly concentrated in epithelial tissues specifically in the gastrointestinal tract and skin. This factor plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation and differentiation.
Kruppel-like factor 5 modulates gene transcription by binding to GC-rich elements in promoter regions influencing various cellular processes. KLF5 can interact with other transcription factors and co-regulators forming complexes important for its function. It significantly impacts epithelial cell dynamics affecting cell transformation differentiation and migration. In particular it plays a pivotal role in maintaining the proliferative capacity of epithelial cells and supporting wound healing processes.
Kruppel-like factor 5 holds a notable position in the TGF-beta and Wnt signaling pathways which govern cellular growth control and development. In the TGF-beta pathway KLF5 can antagonize SMAD-mediated transcription suppression promoting cell proliferation particularly in epithelial stem cells. In the Wnt pathway it influences beta-catenin activity essential for epithelial cell renewal and maintenance. Through these pathways KLF5 interacts with proteins such as SMAD3 and beta-catenin coordinating cell turnover and tissue homeostasis.
KLF5 impacts cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It plays a complex role in oncogenesis where its overexpression is associated with colorectal breast and prostate cancers due to its ability to enhance proliferation. KLF5's interaction with proteins like p53 influences tumorigenic potentials. In cardiovascular disorders KLF5 contributes to vascular pathology affecting smooth muscle cell proliferation and atherosclerosis. Through its regulation of cyclin D1 it integrates into pathways leading to abnormal vascular smooth muscle growth linking it further to cardiovascular complications.
