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.

PCPE-2 also known as procollagen C-endopeptidase enhancer 2 enhances the activity of procollagen C-proteinase. It weighs approximately 42 kDa. PCPE-2 is expressed in various tissues including liver and kidney. This protein influences collagen biosynthesis by binding to substrates and increasing enzymatic activity.
PCPE-2 assists in the maturation of type I II and III procollagens. It does not form a part of any larger complex but it increases the cleavage efficiency of the C-terminal propeptide from procollagens. By promoting collagen fibril formation PCPE-2 plays a role in tissue organization and structure.
The role of PCPE-2 in collagen biosynthesis connects it to the extracellular matrix organization pathway. Additionally this protein interacts with enzymes such as bone morphogenetic protein 1 (BMP1) which are important for collagen maturation. These interactions facilitate the assembly and structure of the extracellular matrix.
PCPE-2's involvement in collagen maturation links it to fibrosis a condition characterized by excessive collagen deposition. It also relates to osteogenesis imperfecta a disorder affecting bone strength. In these conditions PCPE-2 works alongside proteins like BMP1 influencing collagen processing and accumulation thereby affecting tissue characteristics.
