Various proteins, include crude homogenate of cortex and isolated glomeruli were quantitated (Epoch Gen5, BioTek, Winooski, VT), and mixed at 1:1 with SDS sample buffer following our published method [20 (link)]. The membrane was incubated with IRDye®800CW labeled secondary antibody for target protein and IRDye® 680LT anti-mouse IgG antibody (LI-COR, Lincoln, NE). The membrane was simultaneously scanned at both wave lengths on an infrared fluorescence scanner (Odyssey, LI-COR), with target protein as green and control α-actin as red. Each band was digitally quantitated as IOD.
