MPV17 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, Homozygous: 1 bp deletion in exon 4.
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.

MPV17 also known as MPV17 mitochondrial inner membrane protein plays an important role in the integrity of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) maintenance. It is a 20 kDa protein found primarily in the inner mitochondrial membrane. Expression of MPV17 occurs in various tissues notably in the liver kidney and central nervous system. The protein localizes to mitochondria where it is involved in maintaining mitochondrial function.
MPV17 affects several processes related to cellular energy production. It is part of a larger protein family involved in mitochondrial homeostasis. MPV17 contributes to the regulation of oxidative phosphorylation by modulating mitochondrial DNA content. This regulation assures proper function of the respiratory chain complexes required for cellular energy provision. Additionally its activity helps prevent mtDNA damage that may arise from oxidative stress.
MPV17 influences energy metabolism pathways critical for cell viability. It interacts with the mitochondrial DNA maintenance pathway facilitating the replication and distribution of mtDNA within cells. MPV17 has functional associations with other proteins like POLG which is the catalytic subunit of the mitochondrial DNA polymerase responsible for replication and repair. This relationship ensures the stability and transcription of mitochondrial genome necessary for proper cellular energy management.
Mutations in MPV17 lead to conditions like mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome (MDDS) and Navajo neurohepatopathy. MDDS results in reduced mtDNA levels affecting energy production and leading to severe liver and neurological disorders. The disease links MPV17 to other proteins involved in mitochondrial maintenance such as TWNK another protein necessary for mtDNA maintenance and expression. Understanding MPV17’s role in these pathologies can provide insights into potential therapeutic strategies for corresponding mitochondrial disorders.
