PDIA5 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, Homozygous: 7 bp deletion in exon 2.
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.

The protein disulfide-isomerase A5 (PDIA5) also known as PDIR serves as an enzyme that catalyzes the formation breakage and rearrangement of disulfide bonds. It weighs approximately 58 kDa. Researchers find PDIA5 expressed in the endoplasmic reticulum especially in tissues with high secretory activity like the pancreas and liver. It participates in protein folding and maintaining cell function by ensuring proper protein structure through disulfide bond formation.
PDIA5 has important roles in regulating redox homeostasis and protein quality control within the endoplasmic reticulum. It does not operate alone; it functions as part of multi-protein complexes engaging with other chaperones to assist in folding newly synthesized proteins. These interactions prevent protein aggregation and accumulation of misfolded proteins protecting cells from stress.
PDIA5 integrates into the unfolded protein response (UPR) and endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) pathways. It interfaces with other proteins like BiP/GRP78 which enhances its chaperone activity during cellular stress and EDEM1 a protein involved in recognizing misfolded glycoproteins. These pathways work together to maintain cellular homeostasis by managing protein load and degradation processes.
Research associates PDIA5 with various conditions including neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Misfolding and aggregation of proteins linked to PDIA5 malfunction can contribute to disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Moreover PDIA5 may influence cancer progression by interacting with proteins like CALR which also participates in cell stress responses. Understanding PDIA5 functions helps in developing potential therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
