Green fluorescent protein is commonly used to monitor gene expression and protein trafficking within intact cells. The Monster Green® Fluorescent Protein is encoded by an improved synthetic version of the green fluorescent protein gene originally cloned from Montastrea cavernosa (Great Star Coral). - [Read Monster Green® Fluorescent Protein Assay]
Protocol is based on methods for the resolution of GLUT4
containing vesicles and the identification of phosphoinositide kinase containing vesicles in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. They may have a wider application to any low-medium density membranes. Protocol incorporates the strategy of using a low density microsome fraction as the gradient input, commonly
used in GLUT 4 studies that may have a wider application to other investigations. - [Read Analysis of Membrane Trafficking and Intracellular Signaling in Self-Generated Iodixanol Gradients]
