Smoothened Overexpression Lysate

HEK293T cells in 10-cm dishes were transiently transfected with a non-lipid polymer transfection reagent specially designed and manufactured for large volume DNA transfection. Transfected cells were cultured for 48hrs before collection. The cells were lysed in modified RIPA buffer (25mM Tris-HCl pH7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1mM EDTA, 1xProteinase inhibitor cocktail mix, 1mM PMSF and 1mM Na3VO4, and then centrifuged to clarify the lysate. Protein concentration was measured by BCA protein assay kit.

Smoothened, a Frizzled Receptor, is homologous to the Drosophila segment polarity Smo gene. It associates with the Patched protein to mediate the cellular response to the Hedgehog secreted protein signal, which controls patterning and growth during vertebrate development. Smoothened is activated in a number of human tumors and can function as an oncogene in basal-cell carcinomas. Smoothened expression has been documented in bladder, blood, brain, the central nervous system, skin, and ureter. ESTs have been isolated from amnion, bone, brain, breast, embryo, eye, heart, nerve, and skin libraries.
