Phos-tag technology
Phos-tag is a novel phosphate-binding tag at neutral pH (physiological pH) and was developed by Department of Functional Molecular Science at Hiroshima University. Phos-tag technologies are innovative methods using Phos-tag for separation, purification, and detection of phosphorylated substances (protein, peptide, etc.).

What are phosphorylated proteins?
· Approximately 30% of cellular proteins are phosphorylated.
· Phosphorylated proteins serve roles in information transmission within living
bodies.
· Specification of phosphorylated proteins enables acquisition of important
information concerning living bodies.
