Western blotting was performed as previously described30 . Cells were lysed in RIPA buffer (Thermo Fisher) with protease inhibitor cocktail (Roche). The supernatant of the lysate was collected and denatured with the same volume of SDS sample buffer (0.5 M Tris-HCl, pH 6.8; 10% SDS, 50% glycerin, 2-mercaptoethanol). The protein samples were resolved viaSDS-PAGE and blotted onto PVDF membranes (Bio-Rad).

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.
