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

Biological function summary
Twinfilin-2 assists in the modulation of actin filament turnover acting as a cofilin homolog. TWF2 does not work alone; it forms part of a multi-protein complex that influences actin dynamics. It uniquely prevents actin polymerization which is vital for various cellular processes including cell motility and muscle contraction. The protein's action in actin turnover directly impacts cell shape and movement making it essential in maintaining the cellular cytoskeleton.
Pathways
Twinfilin-2 integrates into key signal transduction pathways involving actin cytoskeleton regulation. The protein interfaces with the Rho family of GTPases a group of proteins critical for controlling actin organization. TWF2 also interacts with proteins like cofilin and profilin to fine-tune actin filament dynamics contributing to both cell division and migration processes. This integration showcases its importance in cellular structural organization and signaling.
