Secreted protein for loading control - (Oct/29/2009 )
Hi everyone,
I'm researching a secreted protein in culture medium from cell lines of prostate cancer. I run a WB without problems, however I need a secreted protein to normalize the results and loading control (like actin in protein extract).
Are there any protein that always be released to culture medium?
Thank you!

I have read about others using erk (extracellular signal-regulated kinase) as such a loading control.
See Coban 2005, J. Leukocyte Biology 78:647-655. Also see Dittmer 2006, Electrophoresis 27, 2844-2845.
Cheers,
Matt

Loading controls are fake-prone.
I would recommend you simply performing ponceau stain, scan and lane densitometry.
