H-1000

The general aim of the experiment is to study the effect of high fat diet on Pyk2 & Mac3 co-localization. Pyk2 is a nonreceptor tyrosine kinase of Fak family. Pyk2 is one of the signaling mediatiors for G protein coupled receptors. Here we checked the high fat diet effect on Pyk2 & Mac3 co-localization on mice samples by immunoflorescence method. This product is used to mount the heart samples after immunofluorescence staining and prevent it from drying and help to view under microscope.
