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.

TIMM17B also known as Translocase of Inner Mitochondrial Membrane 17 homolog B is a protein component with a molecular mass of approximately 21 kDa. TIMM17B is importantly involved in the translocation of proteins across the mitochondrial inner membrane. This protein is expressed in various tissues but shows higher expression in testis and heart. TIMM17B plays a critical role in mitochondrial function by acting as a channel-forming protein within the TIMM complex.
TIMM17B integrates its function into the import machinery for mitochondrial proteins. It is part of the TIM22 complex an important multi-protein system that mediates the insertion and assembly of certain hydrophobic proteins into the mitochondrial inner membrane. TIMM17B works in coordination with other TIMM proteins such as TIM22 to facilitate the transfer and integration of mitochondrial carrier proteins. This integration supports the effective maintenance of mitochondrial functions which are essential for cellular energy metabolism.
TIMM17B plays a significant role in the mitochondrial protein import pathway. This process involves the transport of proteins synthesized in the cytosol into the mitochondria which is essential for mitochondrial biogenesis and function. TIMM17B is also linked with the oxidative phosphorylation pathway through its involvement in maintaining mitochondrial membrane potential. Proteins like TIMM23 and TIMM50 are closely related to TIMM17B within these pathways providing important support for its function in importing proteins necessary for energy production.
TIMM17B has been connected to mitochondrial disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Disturbances in its function or expression can affect mitochondrial integrity contributing to conditions such as Leigh syndrome. Moreover TIMM17B shows associations with Alzheimer's disease where defects in mitochondrial dynamics and energy metabolism play a role. These connections also involve the protein PINK1 which is associated with autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease highlighting the importance of mitochondrial quality control in neurodegenerative disorders.
