We performed protein expression analyses in human podocytes regarding the generation of different factors involved in apoptosis regulation, signaling, cell structure maintenance and cell viability. Specifically phospho-specific antibodies were used to analyse the signaling activity normalized againt total protein expression (see Akt, AMPK and mTOR). In this experiment a a monoclonal Anti-Desmin antibody from Sigma Aldrich # D1033 was used (1:500) for Western blot.
