Does anyone have experience with ERK phosphorylation analysis in Xenopus laevis?

27 June 2013 1 6K Report

My westerns show only one band and not the typical 42 and 44 KDa bands seen in mammals.

I have seen published papers showing single ERK bands in Xenopus. See, for instance, Wang et al, Cell 128:1119-32, 2007.
