Figure 5From: Kalrn promoter usage and isoform expression respond to chronic cocaine exposureKalirin is not as highly expressed in the striatum as in the cortex. A. Tissue taken from the cortex (Ctx), dorsal striatum (Str) and nucleus accumbens (NAc) of adult C57BL/6 mice was disrupted by sonication in SDS lysis buffer; aliquots containing equal amounts of protein (20 μg) were fractionated by SDS-PAGE and visualized using antibody to the spectrin repeat region of Kalirin or to Kal7 and the indicated proteins: βIII tubulin, NR2B, Cdk5 and Rac1.Back to article page
