Herein, we describe three kinds of 2-DE using phosphate-affinity PAGE for the analysis of phosphoprotein isotypes. The first dimension is a urea-PAGE, IEF/NEPHGE, or SDS-PAGE, which are widely used. The second dimension is a phosphate-affinity SDS-PAGE using a phosphate-binding tag molecule, Phos-tag (Mn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE). The first 2-D procedure coupling urea-PAGE and Mn(2+)-Phos-tag SDS-PAGE was applied to the separation of beta-casein phosphoisotypes.
