Cells were lysed with RIPA buffer (Beyotime Institute of Biotechnology) containing protease inhibitors. Protein concentration was quantified using bicinchoninic acid protein assay (Pierce; Thermo Fisher Scientific, Inc.). Protein samples (10 µg) were separated on 12% SDS-PAGE gel and transferred to polyvinylidene fluoride membranes (Roche, Basel, Switzerland). Membranes were incubated in 5% non-fat milk at 25°C for 1 h to block non-specific binding. Membranes were then membranes incubated overnight at 4°C with primary antibodies targeting phosphorylated (p-) Akt (cat. no. ab81283; 1:500; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), total Akt (cat. no. ab18785; 1:500; Abcam), and β-actin (cat. no. ab8226; 1:500; Abcam).

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.
