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.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

MLK3 also known as MEKK11 is a kinase widely expressed in human tissues. This protein with a molecular mass of approximately 97 kDa functions as a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K). MLK3 mechanically activates the c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and p38 MAP kinase pathways by phosphorylating downstream MAP2Ks. It is involved in various cell processes including apoptosis and inflammation.
MLK3 plays a critical role in cellular response to stress and inflammation. It acts as part of a signaling complex that regulates the JNK and p38 pathways key mediators in immune responses. These pathways control the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the cellular stress response. Through its kinase activity MLK3 supports the activation of transcription factors such as AP-1 which drive gene expression changes needed for its biological functions.
MLK3 is intricately involved in the MAPK signaling cascade. It connects with other MAP3Ks like MLK1 and MLK2 contributing to the complexity of MAPK signaling. MLK3’s participation in the JNK and p38 pathways links it to cytokine signaling and cellular stress responses. These pathways are significant for maintaining cellular homeostasis and coordinating responses to external stimuli.
MLK3 has implications in cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer MLK3 modulates pathways that influence cell proliferation and survival potentially leading to tumor growth and metastasis when dysregulated. Similarly altered MLK3 signaling is observed in neurodegenerative diseases possibly due to its role in managing cellular stress. MLK3 interacts with proteins like JNK and p38 which are important in disease mechanisms and progression.

Lanes 1- 2: Merged signal (red and green). Green - Anti-MLK3 antibody [EP1460Y] ab51068 observed at 105 kDa. Red - Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) observed at 37 kDa.
Anti-MLK3 antibody [EP1460Y] ab51068 was shown to react with MLK3 in wild-type A549 cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab267168 (knockout cell lysate Human MAP3K11 (MLK3) knockout A549 cell lysate ab257518) was used. Wild-type A549 and MAP3K11 knockout A549 cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk.
