Anti-Gβ
(rabbit polyclonal IgG)
Catalog # 06-238
Lot # DAM1394785
Immunogen: Internal sequence of G-protein beta
subunit (KTREGNVRVSREL) conjugated to octavalent
polylysine base.
Specificity: Specific for G beta subunits; recognizes
both 35kDa and 36kDa beta subunits.
Immunoblot Analysis: A 1:500-1:1000 dilution of this
lot detected the Gβ subunits in 20μg of a cell lysate
prepared from rat brain microsomal preparation
(Catalog # 12-144).

Immunoblot Protocol
1. Perform SDS-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) on a cell lysate sample (cell lysis buffer: 50mM
Tris-HCl, pH 7.4; 1% NP-40; 0.25% sodium deoxycholate; 150mM NaCl; 1mM EGTA; 1mM PMSF; 1μg/ml
aprotinin, leupeptin, pepstatin; 1mM Na3VO4; 1mM NaF) and transfer the proteins to nitrocellulose. Wash the
blotted nitrocellulose twice with water. Do not boil preparation. Warm to 37°C for 30-45 minutes before
loading the sample.
2. Block the blotted nitrocellulose in freshly prepared PBS containing 3% nonfat dry milk (Catalog # 20-200),
(PSB-MLK) for 20 minutes at room temperature with constant agitation.
3. Incubate the nitrocellulose with a 1:500-1:1000 dilution of anti-Gβ, diluted in freshly prepared PBS-MLK
overnight with agitation at 4°C.
4. Wash the nitrocellulose twice with water.
5. Incubate the nitrocellulose in the appropriate secondary reagent (a goat anti-rabbit HRP conjugated IgG,
Catalog # 12-348, 1:5000 dilution, was used) in PBS-MLK for 1.5 hours at room temperature with agitation.
6. Wash the nitrocellulose with water twice.
7. Wash the nitrocellulose in PBS-0.05% Tween 20 for 3-5 minutes.
8. Rinse the nitrocellulose in 4-5 changes of water.
9. Use detection method of choice (enhanced chemiluminescence was used).
Immunoprecipitation Protocol
1. Before beginning the immunoprecipitation, dilute the cell lysate to roughly 1μg/μl total cell protein in a
microcentrifuge tube with PBS.
2. Add 10μl of anti-Gβ to 500μg-1mg cell lysate.
3. Gently rock the reaction mixture at 4°C overnigh t.
4. Capture the immunocomplex by adding 100μl (50μl packed beads) of washed Protein A agarose bead slurry
(Catalog # 16-125).
5. Gently rock the reaction mixture at 4°C for 2 ho urs.
6. Collect the agarose beads by pulsing (5 seconds in the microcentrifuge at 14,000 x g), and drain off the
supernatant. Wash the beads 3 times with either ice-cold cell lysis buffer or PBS.
7. Resuspend the agarose beads in 60μl 2X Laemmli sample buffer.
8. Store the beads frozen for future analysis or boil the beads for 5 minutes.
9. Collect the beads after boiling using a microcentrifuge pulse.
10. Perform SDS-PAGE and immunoblot analysis on a sample of the supernatant fraction.
