Park2

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States

PARK2 is a protein that is involved in the regulation of mitochondrial function and quality control. It plays a role in the process of mitochondrial autophagy, also known as mitophagy, which is the selective degradation of damaged or dysfunctional mitochondria. PARK2 acts as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, attaching ubiquitin molecules to target proteins, which then initiates the mitophagy pathway.

Total proteins were extracted from lung tissues of mice using a RIPA Lysis Buffer (Beyotime) and protein concentrations were determined by a BCA assay kit (Beyotime). 30 µg protein per lane was separated using 8–10% SDS PAGE, transferred to a 0.45-µm PVDF membrane, blocked with 5% non-fat milk, and incubated with primary antibodies against DRP1, MFF, OPA1, MFN2 (Cell Signaling Technology, Danvers, MA, USA), PINK1, PARK2, SQSTM1/p62 (Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), TRPA1 (Novus Biologicals, Littleton, CO, USA), TRPV1 (Immunoway, Newark, DE, USA ) and GAPDH (Proteintech, Wuhan, Hubei, China) overnight at 4 ℃. Membranes were incubated with the secondary antibodies, HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG or HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse IgG (all 1:3,000, Cell Signaling Technology) for 2 h at room temperature, and the bands were visualized by chemiluminescence.

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.
