Description | beta-Actin Transient Overexpression LysateExpression Host: HEK293T Plasmid: RC203643 Accession#: NM_001101 Protein Tag: C-MYC/DDK You will receive 1 vial of lysate (100ug), 1 vial of empty vector negative control (100ug), and 1 vial of 2xSDS sample buffer (250ul). Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein (at 1 mg/ml). The 2xSDS Sample Buffer consists of 4% SDS, 125mM Tris-HCl pH6.8, 10% Glycerol, 0.002% Bromophenol blue, 100mM DTT. |

Application Notes | This product is intended for use as a positive control in Western Blot. Overexpression of the target protein was confirmed using an antibody to DDK (FLAG) epitope tag (NBP1-71705) present on the protein construct. Each vial of cell lysate contains 100ug of total protein which should be sufficient for 20-50 reactions. Depending on over-expression level, antibody affinity and detection system, some lysates can go as low as 0.1 ug per load. We recommend starting with 5ug of cell lysate. Add an equal amount of cell lysate and 2X SDS Sample buffer and boil the SDS samples for 10 minutes before loading. |
Theoretical MW | 41.6 kDa. Disclaimer note: The observed molecular weight of the protein may vary from the listed predicted molecular weight due to post translational modifications, post translation cleavages, relative charges, and other experimental factors. |
Storage | Store at -80C. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. |
Buffer | RIPA buffer |
