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.

PPM1F also known as POPX2 is a protein phosphatase that belongs to the PP2C family. It functions as a serine/threonine phosphatase and has a molecular mass of approximately 48 kDa. PPM1F is expressed across various tissues including the brain muscle and liver. It plays a role in dephosphorylating proteins involved in numerous cellular processes. By regulating phosphorylation status PPM1F impacts cellular activities such as cell cycle progress and apoptotic pathways.
This protein phosphatase is instrumental in modulating signaling events related to cytoskeletal dynamics and stress responses. PPM1F does not operate in isolation but rather interacts with other proteins to form complexes that fine-tune its activity and stability. For instance PPM1F associates with components of the actin cytoskeleton and stress-related kinases influencing cellular movement and survival responses. Its ability to deactivate key kinases highlights its biological importance in maintaining cellular function.
Recent research places PPM1F in mechanistic contexts related to the MAPK signaling and apoptosis pathways. It interacts closely with proteins like MAPKs and CAMKII to mediate responses to external stimuli influencing cellular proliferation and stress outcomes. The modulation of these pathways by PPM1F highlights its role in facilitating the balance between cell survival and apoptotic signaling. This phosphatase therefore has a significant regulatory function in cellular signaling networks.
Alterations in PPM1F function have correlations with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer PPM1F's dephosphorylation roles impact pathways relevant to cell proliferation and apoptosis contributing to tumor progression. Abnormal regulation of PPM1F has also been observed in certain neurodegenerative disorders where its interactions with proteins such as MAPKs affect neuronal survival and distress responses. The link between PPM1F and these conditions highlights its potential as a therapeutic target in disease management.
