Sigma′s FLAG Immunoprecipitation kit allows a rapid and efficient immunoprecipitation and elution of an active FLAG-tagged protein. The immunoprecipitation is performed with the ANTI-FLAG M2 affinity gel, which is a highly specific monoclonal antibody covalently attached to agarose resin. The use of affinity resin allows an efficient binding of FLAG-tagged proteins without the need for preliminary steps and calibrations. The immunoprecipitated FLAG-tagged proteins can be efficiently eluted from the resin with acidic conditions or by competition with FLAG peptide. The immunoprecipitated proteins can be detected for their size, post-translational modifications, and interactions on gel electrophoresis, and by activity assays.

Epithelial cell-cell contacts maintain normal glandular tissue homeostasis, and their breakage can trigger epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), a fundamental step in the development of metastatic cancer. Despite the ability of C-type lectin domains (CTLD) to modulate cell-cell adhesion, it is not

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a predominant cancer type in developing countries such as China, where ESCC accounts for approximately 90% of esophageal malignancies. Lacking effective and targeted therapy contributes to the poor 5-year survival rate. Recent studies showed
Oleuropein, a terpene-derived glycosylated secoiridoid biosynthesized exclusively by members of the Oleaceae family, is involved in a two-component defense system comprising a β-glucosidase that activates oleuropein into a toxic glutaraldehyde-like structure. Oleuropein and its deglycosylated derivatives have high pharmaceutical interest.

With no lysine kinase 4 (WNK4) is essential to activate the thiazide-sensitive NaCl cotransporter (NCC) along the distal convoluted tubule, an effect central to the phenotype of familial hyperkalemic hypertension. Although effects on potassium and sodium channels along the connecting
Mammalian mitochondria contain their own genome that is almost fully transcribed from both strands, generating polycistronic RNA units that are processed and matured. The mitochondrial mRNA is modified by oligo- or polyadenylation at the 3' termini, but the exact function
