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.
  • Do not allow the cell density to exceed 7x104 cells/cm2.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

Supplementary information

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

The OTOP3 protein also known as otopetrin 3 functions as an important component in the mechanosensory system. It is an ion channel thought to contribute significantly to the transduction of mechanical signals into cellular responses. OTOP3 has a calculated mass of approximately 65 kDa. Researchers have observed its expression in tissues like the cochlea and vestibular system indicating a role in auditory and equilibrium processes.
Biological function summary

The OTOP3 protein serves critical roles in sensory perception particularly in the detection of gravitational and vibrational stimuli. It is not typically known to be part of a larger protein complex but operates as an individual unit. The spatial distribution in the inner ear suggests a function in the maintenance of otoconia the calcium carbonate crystals necessary for balance.

Pathways

OTOP3 participates in the sensory transduction pathways. It plays an important part in mechanotransduction where it works alongside proteins like OTOP1. In pathways such as these OTOP3 possibly facilitates ionic exchange across sensory cell membranes contributing to the depolarization events required for signal generation.

Mutations or dysfunctions in the OTOP3 protein have potential links to balance impairments such as vertigo and certain types of hearing loss. Studies hint at interactions with proteins like otogelin which could amplify these effects if defective. The relationship of OTOP3 with otic disorders proposes a significant area for further investigation to understand sensory deficiencies better.
