Lysates were clarified by centrifugation at 10.000 × g for 20 min. Lysates containing equal amounts of proteins, estimated through the Bradford assay (Bio- Rad), were subjected to SDS-page. The chemiluminescent images were obtained using the ImageQuant LAS 500 (GE Healthcare). Band densitometry values inserted in all western blot figures indicate the levels of all phosho-proteins normalized to correspondent total protein and the last are normalized with the internal reference protein.

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.
