Product overview
This Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) western blot cocktail is designed to determine the relative abundance of canonical EMT markers. EMT is a process in which a cell transitions from an epithelial-like (attached, polarized) state to a mesenchymal-like (unattached, migratory) state and such transitions occur during development and metastasis. Underlying the morphological cell changes during EMT are transcription factor programs, biochemical cascades and alterations to the cytoskeleton. Beta-Catenin is a transcription factor in the Wnt signaling pathway and is involved in the regulation of cell adhesion; beta-Catenin is typically more abundant in epithelial-like cells. Vimentin is an intermediate filament typically found in non-epithelial and mesenchymal cells. Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin and GAPDH are also included in this cocktail as loading controls (Alpha Smooth Muscle Actin is reported to be more highly expressed in mesenchymal-like cells, but we find it to be widely expressed in transformed cell lines).
These four readouts are easily resolved by western blot given their different molecular weights. Because this western blot cocktail is a mix of rabbit and mouse monoclonal primary antibodies.
A secondary antibody cocktail of HRP conjugated antibodies (anti-mouse and anti-rabbit) is provided.
Expected and observed MWs:
- Beta-Catenin 92kDa

ab157392 tested on a panel of cell linesPrimary antibody: all lanes EMT WB cocktail (ab157392) diluted to 1X in 4% milk/PBS.
Lane 1. MDA-MB-231 cell lysate
Lane 2. SH SY5Y cell lysate
Lane 3. HeLa cell lysate
Lane 4. Jurkat cell lysate.
All lysates loaded 20 µg per lane. Lysates were generated in RIPA lysis buffer (ab156034) and briefly boiled in sample buffer before loading on SDS-PAGE.
