Total proteins in differentiated C2C12 cells were extracted using RIPA buffer and quantified with BCA protein assay kit (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Rockford, IL, USA). Proteins in the sample buffer were boiled for 10 min and resolved by 10% sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). Proteins were transferred to a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membrane (ATTO Corp., Tokyo, Japan) at 4 °C for 80 min at 120 mA. After blocking with TBS-T (10 mM Tris, 150 mM NaCl, 0.1% Tween-20, pH 7.6) containing 5% bovine serum albumin (BSA) for 1 h, the membranes were then incubated with a 1:1000 dilution of primary antibodies targeting the following; phospho-AKT (S473), AKT, and β-actin. After removing primary antibodies, the blots were washed three times in TBS-T, incubated with anti-rabbit antibody diluted 1:2000 in TBS containing 5% BSA for 5 h at 4 °C and then washed five times in TBS-T. Antibody-bound proteins were detected using enhanced chemiluminescence (AbFrontier, Seoul, Korea) and imaging systems (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) according to the manufacturer’s instruction. The expression level of each protein was normalized to β-actin and the intensities of the bands were quantified using Quantity One (Bio-Rad, Hercules, CA, USA) [38 , 39 ].

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.
