Whole heart tissue and cultured cells were homogenized in lysis buffer containing protease and phosphatase inhibitor cocktails (Sigma-Aldrich; P8340, P5726, P2850). Bradford assay was performed to analyze and normalize protein concentrations and lysates were prepared by addition of NuPAGE LDS Sample Buffer (ThermoFisher; NP0007) and 100 µM dithiothreitol (Bio-Rad; 161–0611). Samples were sonicated and boiled for 5 min at 95 °C and stored at −80 °C. Proteins were separated on a 4–12% NuPAGE Bis–Tris gel (ThermoFisher; NP0321BOX) and transferred onto a polyvinylidene fluoride membrane. Nonspecific binding sites were blocked using Odyssey blocking buffer (LICOR, 927–60001) and proteins were labeled with primary antibodies in 0.2% Tween in Odyssey blocking buffer overnight. After multiple washes, blots were incubated with secondary antibodies in 0.2% Tween 20 in Odyssey blocking buffer for 1.5 h at room temperature and scanned using the LICOR Odyssey CLx scanner. Quantification was performed using ImageJ software. Antibodies and their dilutions are listed in Supplementary Table 1.

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.
