A2058 Whole Cell Lysate: sc-364178

The A2058 Whole Cell Lysate is derived from a human melanoma cell line, providing a comprehensive snapshot of the protein and molecular constituents within these cancer cells. This lysate has become a crucial tool in the field of cancer research, particularly in studying the mechanisms and behaviors of melanoma cells. Researchers utilize the A2058 lysate primarily to benchmark and analyze the expression patterns of various proteins, including those involved in cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, and metastatic processes. By comparing these patterns with those derived from healthy cells or other cancer cell types, scientists can gain valuable insights into the unique pathways and potential vulnerabilities of melanoma cells. Furthermore, the lysate serves as a control in experiments designed to understand the impact of genetic or environmental modifications on cellular functions. Its application extends into proteomics, where it helps in identifying and quantifying proteins, and in molecular biology techniques such as Western blotting and mass spectrometry, making it an indispensable resource for researchers aiming to explain the complexities of melanoma at the molecular level.
