Designing a Western blot for SMG1? 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 SMG1 Western Blot GuideFacts about Serine/threonine-protein kinase SMG1.
Plays a central role in nonsense-mediated decay (NMD) of mRNAs containing premature stop codons by phosphorylating UPF1/RENT1. Recruited by release factors to stalled ribosomes together with SMG8 and SMG9 (forming the SMG1C protein kinase complex), and UPF1 to form the transient SURF (SMG1-UPF1-eRF1-eRF3) complex.
