Protein content was measured in all homogenates prior to enzymatic analysis with the BSA protein assay kit (Sigma-Aldrich, USA). As a standard, bovine serum albumin (fatty acid free (Sigma-Aldrich, USA)) was used.
The activity of neutral and acid isoforms of sphingomyelinase was determined according to Liu and Hannun [27 ], with the use of radiolabeled substrate [N-methyl-14C]-SM (Perkin-Elmer Life Sciences, USA). The product of reaction, 14C-choline phosphate, was extracted with CHCl3/methanol (2, 1; v/v), transferred to scintillation vials, and counted using a Packard TRI-CARB 1900 TR scintillation counter.

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.
