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.

UBC6e also known as UBE2J2 is a ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme with a molecular mass of approximately 33 kDa. It resides within the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) where it functions as an E2 enzyme. UBC6e facilitates the transfer of ubiquitin from E1 activating enzymes to substrate proteins signaling these proteins for degradation. This enzyme's role is essential for controlling protein quality preventing accumulation of misfolded proteins within the ER.
UBC6e contributes significantly to the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. The protein operates as part of a larger complex that identifies and targets defective proteins for ubiquitination and subsequent breakdown. Its activity maintains cellular homeostasis by regulating the protein landscape in the ER. The presence of UBC6e ensures only properly folded proteins proceed to the Golgi apparatus reducing the potential for cellular malfunction due to protein misfolding.
UBC6e plays a critical role in the unfolded protein response (UPR) and proteostasis networks. The UPR pathway involves proteins like IRE1 and ATF6 working with UBC6e to alleviate ER stress by degrading misfolded proteins. Another pathway related to UBC6e is the proteasome degradation pathway which relies on activities like those of UBC6e and other E2 enzymes to clear misfolded proteins. Together these pathways help the cell manage stress and adapt to environmental changes.
UBC6e has connections with neurodegenerative diseases and certain types of cancer. Its involvement in ERAD relates it to diseases like Alzheimer's where protein misfolding and aggregation are problematic. Furthermore alterations in UBC6e activity intersect with proteins like p53 linking it to cancer progression. Dysregulation of ubiquitination involving UBC6e may contribute to both disease states highlighting its potential as a target for therapeutic intervention.
