β actin

Manufactured by Gene Tech
Sourced in Hong Kong

β-actin is a highly conserved cytoskeletal protein that is essential for maintaining cell structure and function. It is a key component of the eukaryotic cytoskeleton and is involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell motility, division, and signal transduction.

Anti-caspase-8 monoclonal antibody C15 recognizes the p18 subunit of caspase-8. Anti-FLIP monoclonal antibody NF6 recognizes the N-terminal part of c-FLIP. Anti-FADD monoclonal antibody 1C4 recognizes the C-terminal part of FADD46 (link). Antibodies against Caspase-3, caspase-9, p65, Phospho-NFκB p65 (Ser536), cIAP1, cIAP2, XIAP, BclXL, and Smac were obtained from Cell Signaling. Antibodies specific for Bcl-2 were purchased from Santa Cruz Biotechnology, RIPK1 from BD Bioscience, Trx and Tom20 from Abcam, β-Actin from Genetech and Tubulin from Sigma.

The whole cellular protein was extracted by a Protein Rapid Extraction kit (KeyGEN, China), and quantified by BCA protein assay (Dingguo, China). After denaturation, protein lysate was separated with SDS-PAGE, and transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane (Pall, Germany). The membrane was blocked with Tris-buffered saline (TBS) solution containing 5% skim milk powder for 1 h at room temperature. After wash three times with TBST (TBS with 0.05% Tween-20), membrane was incubated with the primary antibody diluted by TBST solution (1: 1000), including Bip (#3177, CST, USA), CHOP (#2895, CST, USA), CD36 (ab64014, Abcam, UK), GAPDH (#5174, CST, USA) and β-actin (66,009, Proteintech, USA) overnight. After three-time wash with TBST, membrane was incubated with the corresponding fluorescent secondary antibody (LI-COR, Gene Company Limited, Hong Kong) for 1 h at room temperature, and ultimately detected using Odyssey® CLx imaging system (Gene Company Limited, Hong Kong). At least three independent experiments were performed. The relative expression level of protein was analyzed by Image Studio™ quantification software (Gene Company Limited, Hong Kong) with β-actin or GAPDH as internal control, and normalized to the control group.

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.
