Abstract
Cellular health, functionality, response to environment, and other variables affecting cell, tissue, or organ viability are reflected in the cellular proteomes and metabolomes. These "omic" profiles are in constant flux even during normal cellular functioning, to maintain cellular homeostasis, in response to small environmental changes and maintenance of optimal cell viability. However proteomic "fingerprints" can also provide insight into cellular ageing, response to disease, adjustment to environmental changes, and other variables that impact cellular viability. A variety of proteomic methods can be used to determine qualitative and quantitative proteomic change. In this chapter, we will focus on a labeling method called isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantification (iTRAQ), which is frequently used to identify and quantify proteomic expression changes in cells and tissues.
