Abstract:
The insulin-producing INS-1E rat cell line is widely used as a model for studying β-cells. It is a well-characterized cell line, mainly used in diabetes research. We established a 2-DE reference map for INS-1E cells. Using MALDI-TOF/TOF-MS/MS, we identified 546 spots. These included various proteins with an important role in β-cell physiology and with known roles as crucial proteins for diabetes development. We believe that the availability of this reference map will enhance our knowledge of β-cell physiology.

Two-dimensional Gel Electrophoresis
The first dimension separation uses the isoelectric focusing or IEF technique performed on immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips that separate proteins according to their isoelectric points.

SDS-PAGE
A variation of gel electrophoresis, termed polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE), is commonly used for separating proteins according to their molecular size by passing them through a polyacrylamide gel. Because of the varying charges associated with amino acid side chains, PAGE can be used to separate intact proteins...
