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 human homolog of Rad23A or hHR23A is an important player in protein maintenance and degradation pathways. This protein is known for its involvement in DNA repair mechanisms and proteasome function. hHR23A weighs approximately 43 kDa and expresses in many tissues reflecting its diverse roles throughout the body. Scientists also refer to it as RAD23A giving insight into its function by linking with the well-known RAD proteins.
HHR23A contributes significantly to the protein ubiquitination process an essential cellular mechanism for targeting proteins for degradation. It forms part of a complex with ubiquitin aiding in the recognition and delivery of ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome for degradation. The protein's ability to bind to both ubiquitin and the proteasome enables its dual function in proteolytic pathways positioning hHR23A as an intermediary that regulates protein turnover and stability.
HHR23A engages in the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway and the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway. It cooperates with other proteins like Rad4 (XPC in humans) in NER where it functions in DNA damage recognition and repair. In the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway hHR23A interacts with the proteasomal subunit Rpn10 and other ubiquitin-like proteins. These interactions facilitate effective proteolysis of damaged or unnecessary proteins emphasizing its central role in controlling intracellular protein levels.
HHR23A has implications in neurodegenerative diseases and cancer. Impaired ubiquitin-proteasome system function involving hHR23A associates with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's where protein aggregates accumulate. hHR23A's interaction with proteins like p53 known for its role in tumor suppression ties this protein to cancer biology highlighting its potential involvement in tumor suppression failure when its pathways are disrupted.

Anti-hHR23A antibody [EPR4817] ab108591 Anti-hHR23A antibody [EPR4817] was shown to specifically react with hHR23A in wild-type HEK293T cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266343 (knockout cell lysate Human RAD23A (hHR23A) knockout HEK-293T cell lysate ab258163) was used. Wild-type and hHR23A knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Anti-hHR23A antibody [EPR4817] ab108591 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively.
