Affinity Capture-MS

An interaction is inferred when a bait protein is affinity captured from cell extracts by either polyclonal antibody or epitope tag and the associated interaction partner is identified by mass spectrometric methods.

Potassium ion channels are emerging as promalignant factors involved in cancer progression. In this study, we found that invading human gastric cancer cells express high levels of inwardly rectifying potassium channel 2.1 (Kir2.1). Silencing Kir2.1 markedly reduced the invasive and metastatic capabilities as well as the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer cells. The promalignant nature of Kir2.1 in gastric ... [more]
