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.
- Culture medium
- DMEM (High Glucose) + 10% FBS
- Cryopreservation medium
- Cell Freezing Medium-DMSO Serum free media, contains 8.7% DMSO in MEM supplemented with methyl cellulose.

- Activity summary
TACC3 also known as Transforming Acidic Coiled-Coil Containing Protein 3 is a microtubule-associated protein with a molecular weight of approximately 90 kDa. It plays an important role in stabilizing microtubules and is involved in mitotic spindle assembly. TACC3 is expressed in various tissues with high levels seen in proliferating cells such as embryonic cells and those in the testis. This expression pattern suggests it has important functions during cell division and development.
- Biological function summary
TACC3 is part of a protein complex that contributes to mitosis. It collaborates with the Aurora A kinase and ch-TOG protein to ensure proper microtubule dynamics and spindle formation. This complex stabilizes kinetochore microtubules by connecting them to the centrosomes allowing accurate chromosome segregation during cell division. TACC3's actions are fundamental to cell cycle regulation and maintaining genomic stability.
- Pathways
The role of TACC3 is linked to the cell cycle regulation and mitosis pathway. It interacts closely with the Aurora A kinase pathway playing a role in regulating centrosome maturation and spindle assembly. In these pathways proteins like TPX2 and PLK1 are also involved working alongside TACC3 to maintain the fidelity of cell division and ensure equal distribution of genetic material to daughter cells.
- Associated diseases and disorders
TACC3 is significantly implicated in various cancers. Abnormal expression levels of TACC3 have been associated with the development and progression of glioblastoma and breast cancer. It often exhibits partnerships with FGFR3 leading to oncogenic gene fusions that drive cancer cell growth and survival. Understanding TACC3 and its interactions remains important for developing targeted therapies in oncology.
