General description

SDS (sodium dodecyl sulfate) is a wetting agent and an anionic detergent which functions efficiently in both alkaline and acidic solutions. It is generally used for the solubilization of lipids and proteins. It also functions as a potent protein denaturant. SDS, volume-wise, is one of the most commonly used synthetic surfactants.

Human melanomas frequently harbor amplifications of EZH2. However, the contribution of EZH2 to melanoma formation has remained elusive. Taking advantage of murine melanoma models, we show that EZH2 drives tumorigenesis from benign BrafV600E- or NrasQ61K-expressing melanocytes by silencing of genes
