Does anyone have a value for Rat and/or Human Nasal microsomal protein concentration (mg/g tissue)? No publications actually put the protein concentrations, just that protein concentrations were determined. This would be a HUGE help!
Thanks
Typically enzyme kinetics is done using microsomes from rat nasal olfactory tissue, or olfactory mucosa and sometimes microsomes from nasal respiratory epithelium. - Most papers publish the kinetic data, but do not report the concentration of microsomes tested (for example, it will just say in the methods that "microsome protein concentration was determined by a standard BSA assay." -- I need to know the microsomal protein concentration for these tissues. - From what I have seen in the literature, others just use the concentrations of microsomes in the lung for nasal scaling because the values for the nasal tissues are not reported. I just want an idea of whether using the values for lung are in actuality way off, or if that is fine. - There are lots of labs that isolate nasal microsomes, and I am hoping that maybe somewhere in someone's notebook, they have recorded the protein concentration! -- Thanks!
