Endoplasmic Reticulum Metabolomics Analysis Services

Online Inquiry

The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is the main organelle for protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. It also has the function of regulating the intracellular calcium ion concentration. Metabolomics helps to explore the function or dysfunction of the endoplasmic reticulum and its interaction with other organelles.

Creative Proteomics provides a one-stop service for endoplasmic reticulum metabolomics analysis, which aims to analyze the role of the endoplasmic reticulum in regulating the adaptability of the metabolic network and maintaining the balance of cells and the body from a holistic perspective. The main contents include: 1) Study the dynamic metabolic changes in the endoplasmic reticulum; 2) Study the effects of endoplasmic reticulum stress response signal pathways on lipid metabolism; 3) Analyze the differential comparison of metabolites in endoplasmic reticulum-related metabolic diseases.

We Provide the Following Services, including but not Limited to:

Our services include targeted and untargeted metabolomics analysis. You can choose according to your experimental purpose and sample.

1. Untargeted Metabolomics Services

Unbiased detection of all small molecule metabolites in the ER. For the analysis of the structure of unknown analytes, we use the hierarchical annotation system based on MS metabolomics research. LC (UPLC)-MS technology is used to collect mass spectra of ER metabolites. Compare the content of metabolites in different groups of samples to find differential metabolites. And explore metabolic pathways between differential metabolites.

2. Targeted Metabolomics Services

Quantify and analyze several target compounds in ER or all or part of metabolites involved in a certain pathway. We have the GC-QToF MS system and developed a large-scale metabolomics quantitative method with the help of MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) or PRM (parallel reaction monitoring) technology.

Limitation: Reliable reference compounds are needed to identify and quantify the metabolic profile.
