Question Loading control for membrane fractions



I am trying to quantify the membrane expression of a heterologously expressed protein in CHO cells. All cell surface proteins are biotinylated, pulled down and then analyzed by Western Blot.

Does anyone have an idea what I could use as a loading control? Standard controls like actin, tubulin or GAPDH won't work, because the proteins need to be at least partially on the extracellular side to get biotinylated.

Default Re: Loading control for membrane fractions

I routinely use Na/K ATPase antibody (sc21712) as a loading control for membrane fractions. I think cadherin or integrins could be other alternatives.
