SLC52A2 KO cell line available to order. Free of charge wild type control provided. Knockout achieved by using CRISPR/Cas9, 1 bp deletion in exon 2 and 1 bp insertion 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.

GPR172A also known as PAR1 is a G protein-coupled receptor with roles in various cellular processes. Its molecular mass is approximately 48 kDa. This protein is expressed in many tissues including the liver kidney and brain. As a receptor it interacts with G proteins to transmit signals from the outside of the cell to the inside influencing the cell's response to external stimuli.
GPR172A/PAR1 plays an important role in regulating blood clotting and inflammation. It is part of a signaling complex that includes thrombin a serine protease. This complex is important for activating platelets which are cells involved in the blood clotting process. By activating platelets GPR172A/PAR1 helps control bleeding and wound healing.
The protein is involved in both the coagulation and inflammatory pathways. In the coagulation pathway it works alongside other proteins like thrombin and fibrinogen contributing to clot formation. In inflammation GPR172A/PAR1 interacts with proteins such as NF-kB helping to regulate inflammatory responses and cytokine production which are important for immune defense and tissue repair.
GPR172A/PAR1 has a connection to cardiovascular diseases and inflammatory disorders. Its role in promoting blood clot formation links it to conditions like thrombosis where abnormal clotting can lead to dangerous blockages in blood vessels. GPR172A/PAR1 also relates to inflammatory disorders through its interaction with inflammatory proteins such as NF-kB. Abnormal activity of this receptor can lead to excessive inflammation contributing to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis.
