Product details

Although we aim to provide customers with a homozygous clone, feasibility will be dependent on the biology of the protein. Should only heterozygous edits be achieved, you will be notified of the outcome and be asked to confirm whether the cell line is acceptable. All clones will be accompanied with DNA sequencing data, and the mutation description.

Recommended control: Human wild-type A549 cell line (ab288558). 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.

This product is subject to limited use licenses from The Broad Institute and ERS Genomics Limited, and is developed with patented technology. For full details of the limited use licenses and relevant patents please refer to our limited use license and patent pages.

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.
Culture medium

F-12K + 10% FBS

Cryopreservation medium

Supplementary information

Stanniocalcin 2 (STC-2) is a glycoprotein hormone known for regulating calcium and phosphate homeostasis. It has other names like STC-1-related protein and STC2. The protein has a mass of approximately 33 kDa. STC-2 expresses in various tissues with high levels in the liver kidney and thyroid gland. Its expression suggests an important role in maintaining mineral balance in these tissues.
Biological function summary

STC-2 influences metabolic and inflammatory processes by modulating cellular responses to calcium and phosphate. It operates partly by binding to receptors on cell surfaces impacting cell proliferation and survival. While not part of a known complex STC-2 interacts with signaling molecules involved in bone metabolism and endocrine function serving as a modulator of mineralized tissue homeostasis.

Pathways

In mineral homeostasis STC-2 interacts within pathways involving calcium and phosphate regulation. Its interactions include overlap with the PTH (parathyroid hormone) and vitamin D pathways each critical for calcium and bone metabolism. STC-2 shows connections with proteins like FGF23 (fibroblast growth factor 23) that also participate in these regulatory networks impacting how cells manage mineral concentrations.

Research indicates STC-2's involvement in conditions such as chronic kidney disease and some cancers. Its expression levels correlate with abnormal mineral metabolism in kidney disease where it may interact with proteins like Klotho a known regulator of phosphate transport. In oncology overexpression of STC-2 associates with cancer progression potentially linking to altered signaling pathways in tumor cells.
