ERK1/2 is a laboratory product that plays a core role in the extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway, a key signaling cascade involved in the regulation of various cellular processes. The product provides researchers with the necessary tools to study the activation and regulation of ERK1 and ERK2, two closely related kinases that are essential components of the ERK pathway.

Quantifying Kidney Fibrosis Markers

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The protein expression of CTGF, PAI‐1 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Heidelberg, Germany), Erk1/2, P‐Erk1/2 (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA) and TIMP‐1 (Sigma Aldrich, Taufkirchen, Germany) was assayed by western blotting 5. Representative immunoblots show the influence of UUO in comparison to the contralateral healthy kidney and the effects of BAY in healthy and fibrotic wt‐kidneys. The graphs statistically compare exclusive fibrotic kidneys. The values of all markers of the fibrotic wt‐ and cGKI‐KO‐kidneys were related to the mean values of fibrotic untreated wt‐kidneys. This ratio was set to one and normalized to the corresponding glyceraldehyde‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH; Cell Signaling) respectively to Erk1/2 for P‐Erk1/2 values. For quantification, ImageJ densitometry was used (BioRad, München, Germany).

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.
