The objective of this presentation is to review the major proteomic technologies available to developmental toxicologists and, when possible, to provide examples of how various proteomic technologies have been used in developmental toxicology or toxicology in general. The field of proteomics is too broad for us to go into great depth about each technology, so we have attempted to provide brief overviews supplemented with many references that cover the subjects in more detail. Proteomics tools produce a global view of complex biological systems by examining complex protein mixtures using large-scale, high-throughput technologies. These technologies speed up the process of protein separation, quantification, and identification. As an important complement to genomics, proteomics allows for the examination of the entire complement of proteins in an organism, tissue, or cell-type. Current proteomics technologies not only identify protein expression, but also post-translational modifications and protein interactions. The field of proteomics is expanding rapidly to provide greater volume and quality of protein information to help understand the multifaceted nature of biological systems. |
