In our experience this isn't the big problem. B-actin is more prevalent
than SNAP-25 so the real problem begins at the gel loading stage. If you
have enough SNAP-25 for the blot there will be too much B-actin. If you
decrease the amount loaded to obtain a favourable amount of B-actin, there
won't be enough SNAP-25. The only solution that worked for us for our
proteins (A-actin and an anti-apoptotic protein) is to load 2 gels in
parallel with adjusted volumes of lysate.
