Can someone advise on Apyrase to be used for In Cell Western assays?

08 August 2013 0 2K Report

I have got Apyrase 14.9 g solid, labelled as 3-40 Units/mg protein. Does anyone know about the working concentration of the compound to lower the baseline signal in ERK activation assays; to be used for Western blotting or In-Cell Western?
