Rabbit anti calcineurin

Manufactured by Abcam
Sourced in United States

Rabbit anti-calcineurin is a primary antibody that specifically binds to the calcineurin protein. Calcineurin is a serine/threonine protein phosphatase that plays a critical role in calcium-dependent cellular signaling pathways. This antibody can be used in various experimental techniques, such as Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry, to detect and study the calcineurin protein.

Total protein extracted from podocytes was lysed in radioimmunoprecipitation assay (RIPA) lysis buffer (50 mM Tris-HCl (pH 7.4), 150 mM NaCl, 1% Nonidet P-40, 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and 0.5% deoxycholic acid sodium salt (DOC)). Equal amounts of protein were subjected to 8–12% SDS-PAGE and electrophoretically transferred onto nitrocellulose membranes (Amersham Life Science, USA). After blocking with 5% non-fat milk in PBS containing 0.05% Tween-20 (PBST) for 1 h at room temperature, the membranes were incubated overnight at 4°C with one of the following primary antibodies: rabbit anti-nephrin (Sigma, USA), rabbit anti-calcineurin (Abcam, USA), rabbit anti-α-spectrin (Abcam, USA), rabbit anti-calpain 1 (Abcam USA), mouse anti-β-tubulin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA), or mouse anti-β-actin (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). The membranes were then rinsed 3 times for 8 min each in PBST and incubated with anti-rabbit or anti-mouse IgG secondary antibodies (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, USA). After a final washing step, the membranes were developed using an enhanced chemiluminescence reagent (Millipore, USA), and protein bands were scanned. Finally, images were collected and analyzed using ImageJ software (National Institutes of Health, USA).

Podocyte Nuclear Protein Extraction and Western Blotting

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
After subjecting to different experimental conditions, podocytes were washed twice by cold PBS, and then RIPA buffer was added for lysing. The nuclear protein was extracted from podocytes using the Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Protein Extraction Kit (Nanjing Key GEN Biotech, China). The protein assay reagent kit (Invitrogen, Waltham, MA) was used to evaluate the protein concentration. An equal amount of protein was separated on 7.5% SDS-PAGE gels electrophoresis, followed by transfer to PVDF membranes (Millipore, USA). The membranes were incubated antibodies overnight at 4 °C after blocking with 5% non-fat dry milk for at least 1 h. The primary antibodies used were as follows: rabbit anti-GAP-43 (Abcam, 1:500), rabbit anti-NFATc1 (Abcam, 1:1000), rabbit anti-histone (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:1000), rabbit anti-nephrin (Abcam, 1:2000), rabbit anti-β-actin (Affinity, 1:10000), rabbit anti-calcineurin (Abcam, 1:2000), rabbit anti-Bax (Abcam, 1:1000), and rabbit anti-Bcl-2 (Abcam, 1:1000). The next day, the anti-rabbit IgG (Cell Signaling Technology, 1:5000) was incubated for 1 h at 37 °C. Membranes were visualized using ECL Western Blotting Detection Reagents (Advansta, USA). β-actin or histone as the internal control.

Four groups of rat hippocampus tissues were used to extract the total protein, and NFAT3/c4 protein was extracted using a Nuclear and Cytoplasmic Extraction Kit (Cwbio, China). All the experiments were conducted on ice. Protein concentration measurements were collected using the BCA (Biomiga, China) method. The samples were incubated at 99°C for 10 min. Then, 30 μg of total protein were was separated by SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The separated proteins were transferred to PVDF membranes (Millipore, Billerica, MA, USA). The membranes were blocked with 5% non-fat milk in TBST for 2 h at room temperature and were incubated overnight at 4°C with the proper primary antibodies. The antibodies were purchased and diluted as follows: rabbit anti-calcineurin (1:10 000, Abcam), rabbit anti-NMDAR (1:1000, Abcam), rabbit anti-NFAT3/c4 (1:500, Sigma), rabbit anti-GSK-3β (1:1000, Cell Signal), rabbit anti-Bax (1:1000, Cell Signal), rabbit anti- Bcl-2 (1:1000, Cell Signal), rabbit anti-GAPDH (1:1000, Goodhere), rabbit anti-Histon3 (1:500, Sigma). The membranes were then incubated with an HRP-conjugated secondary antibody (Beyotime, Nantong, China) for 1.5 h at room temperature. The membranes were immunolabeled. After washing the samples with TBST buffer, the membranes were subsequently assayed using the Thermo Scientific Pierce Femto ECL (Rockford, IL, USA).

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.
