Product details
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.
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
- Slow to trypsinise.
- All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
- A guide seeding density of 5-7x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
- Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium
MEM + 10% FBS + 0.01 mg/ml bovine insulin
Cryopreservation medium
Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Biological function summary
MEK4 acts as an upstream kinase in the MAPK signaling cascade. Through its role in this pathway it is part of a larger signaling complex. MEK4 specifically activates JUN N-terminal kinase (JNK) by phosphorylation. JNK further regulates gene expression by influencing transcription factors impacting cellular responses. This makes MEK4 a pivotal element in facilitating messenger roles that allow cells to adapt to changing environments such as stress responses and immune reactions.
Pathways
MEK4 plays significant roles in the MAPK and stress-activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathways. In the MAPK pathway MEK4 phosphorylates JNK thereby influencing cellular responses to environmental changes. Within the SAPK pathway MEK4 interacts with other kinases such as MKK7 to modulate cellular responses further. The flow of signals through these pathways affects cell fate cell cycle regulation and programmed cell death demonstrating its comprehensive influence on cell physiology.
