Product details
Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab255450). Please note a wild-type cell line is not automatically included with a knockout cell line order, if required please add recommended wild-type cell line at no additional cost using the code WILDTYPE-TMTK1.
We will provide viable cells that proliferate on revival.

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.

F-12K + 10% FBS
Cryopreservation medium

Biological function summary
Sister chromatid cohesion during meiosis depends heavily on REC8 which integrates into the cohesin protein complex. This complex consists of SMC1β SMC3 and STAG3 playing an essential role in meiotic chromosome pairing and segregation. REC8 forms part of this cohesin structure specifically ensuring precise cleavage and separation of chromatids during the anaphase I stage of meiosis which contributes critical fidelity in chromosomal inheritance.
Pathways
REC8 influences the meiotic cell cycle and the associated recombination pathways. These pathways are highly regulated and critical for gametogenesis. Within the meiotic cell cycle pathway REC8 interacts closely with the protein RAD21 which holds key roles across various stages of the cell cycle. The well-orchestrated removal of cohesion by separase enzyme ensures successful homologous chromosome separation highlighting REC8's importance in these cellular processes.
