DIGE-Based Phosphoproteomic Analysis

Methods Mol Biol. 2023:2596:97-104. doi: 10.1007/978-1-0716-2831-7_7.

Abstract

Here, we describe a detailed step-by-step protocol for the detection of phosphoproteins in two-dimensional difference gel electrophoresis (2D-DIGE) gels. A standard 2D-DIGE protocol is combined with subsequent post-staining with phosphospecific fluorescent dye. The combination of these two methods complements 2D-DIGE-based proteome profiling by fluorescence detection of phosphoproteins in the same gel providing additional possibility for sensitive and accurate quantification of the differentially regulated phosphoproteins in biological samples.

Keywords: 2D-DIGE; Phosphoprotein; Phosphoproteomics.
