Analysis of cellular proteins in achondroplasia by two-dimensional electrophoresis
1Department of Pediatrics, Graduate Institute of Medicine, Kaohsiung Medical College, Taiwan, Republic of China.
Abstract:
An abnormal protein pattern was found in cultured fibroblasts from three of seven patients with achondroplasia. All three patients showed two abnormal protein spots which were not detected in any of the normal and pathological cell strains examined in this study. Clinical manifestations of these three cases were compared with those of other cases, but no differences were identified between them from the data available at present. The significance of these protein spots were discussed.

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...
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.
