Anti p tak1

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States

Anti-p-TAK1 is a laboratory reagent that specifically recognizes and binds to the phosphorylated form of the Transforming Growth Factor-β-Activated Kinase 1 (TAK1) protein. TAK1 is a key mediator of various signaling pathways, including those involved in inflammatory responses and cell survival. The Anti-p-TAK1 product can be used to detect and study the activation state of TAK1 in biological samples.

Using SYBR® Green PCR Master Mix (Applied Biosystems), expression levels of target genes were analyzed via PCR amplification and quantification. GAPDH or TBP mRNA levels were used for normalization. CSF collection and TGFβ measurement: An anesthetized mouse was placed onto the stereotactic apparatus with the head forming an angle of about 135° with the body, and then a sagittal incision in the neck skin was made inferior to the occiput, followed by penetrating a capillary tube through the dura mater into the citerna magna to draw the CSF.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
