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.

Biological function summary
Uridine-cytidine kinase supports nucleotide homeostasis in cells. It does not form part of a larger enzymatic complex. This enzyme facilitates the salvage pathway converting nucleosides back into nucleotides. Such activity ensures sufficient nucleotide precursors for DNA and RNA synthesis which is critical during cell division and repair. Therefore disruptions in UCK function can severely impact cellular metabolism and proliferation.
Pathways
Nucleoside and nucleotide metabolism are key areas where uridine-cytidine kinase plays a prominent role. It particularly influences the pyrimidine salvage pathway an important process that helps recycle nucleotides within the cell. UCK interacts with other enzymes such as cytidine monophosphate kinase (CMP kinase) which further phosphorylates CMP into cytidine diphosphate (CDP). Proper functioning of these pathways ensures cellular nucleotide balance and genome integrity.
