Product details

Recommended control: Human wild-type HeLa cell line (ab255928). 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.

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

Supplementary information

This supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.

The LIM and Calponin Homology Domain 1 known as LIMCH1 is a protein with a mass of approximately 90 kDa. It functions mechanically by interacting with actin filaments influencing their organization and stability. LIMCH1 contains a LIM domain which provides a scaffold for protein-protein interactions and a calponin homology domain which binds actin. LIMCH1 is expressed in various tissues including skeletal muscle heart and brain indicating its involvement in multiple cellular functions.
Biological function summary

LIMCH1 modulates cytoskeletal dynamics and plays a role in cell shape and motility. It forms part of protein complexes that regulate the architecture of the actin cytoskeleton. These complexes involve other actin-binding proteins contributing to processes like cell adhesion and migration. LIMCH1 influences the remodeling of cytoskeletal structures critical for cellular responses to environmental changes and mechanical stress.

Pathways

Researchers identify LIMCH1 as a component in the RhoA signaling pathway which controls actin cytoskeleton dynamics. LIMCH1 interacts with proteins like Rho-associated protein kinase (ROCK) and myosin light chain kinase (MLCK) coordinating actomyosin contractility. Another significant pathway involving LIMCH1 is the regulation of focal adhesion where it associates with vinculin and talin contributing to the linkage between the plasma membrane and the cytoskeletal framework.

Abnormalities in LIMCH1 expression or function relate to conditions such as heart hypertrophy and certain types of cancer. In cardiac muscle cells disrupted LIMCH1 activity can lead to altered contractility linking it to heart disease. Furthermore in the context of cancer LIMCH1's modulation of cell migration and adhesion connects it to metastasis. Studies also find its interactions with proteins like p53 a well-known tumor suppressor as important in these disease processes.
