Association of CD146 with the cytoskeleton.
The amount of CD146 recovered in the soluble fraction (S) was 75%; that recovered in the insoluble fraction (I) was 25%. As controls for the specificity of the extractions, placental alkaline phosphatase was recovered mostly in the insoluble fraction and TR in the soluble fraction. The arrows represent the major constituents of each protein taken as a control of the triton X100 extraction.
