Designing a Western blot for Kit ligand? The guide has the expected band size, antibodies backed by real blot images, the controls to run alongside, and protocols taken from published papers.
Open the KITLG Western Blot GuideFacts about Kit ligand.
KITLG/SCF binding may activate several signaling pathways. Promotes phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of this kinase AKT1.
