Description
Background
AKT Antibody detects AKT which is a component of the PI-3 kinase pathway and is activated by phosphorylation at Ser 473 and Thr 308. AKT is a cytoplasmic protein also known as Protein Kinase B (PKB) and rac (related to A and C kinases). AKT is a key regulator of many signal transduction pathways. AKT Exhibits tight control over cell proliferation and cell viability. Overexpression or inappropriate activation of AKT is noted in many types of cancer. AKT mediates many of the downstream events of PI 3-kinase (a lipid kinase activated by growth factors, cytokines and insulin). PI 3-kinase recruits AKT to the membrane, where it is activated by PDK1 phosphorylation. Once phosphorylated, AKT dissociates from the membrane and phosphorylates targets in the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. AKT has two main roles: (i) inhibition of apoptosis; (ii) promotion of proliferation. Anti-AKT Antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cell Signaling, Neuroscience, Signal Transduction, VEGF Signaling, and apoptosis research.
Application Note
Anti-AKT Antibody has been tested in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry (Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded sections), and Immunofluorescence (paraformaldehyde-fixed primary cardiomyocyte cultures). Expect a band at ~55.7kDa in 3T3 whole cell lysate or other appropriate cell lysates or tissues in western blot. Although not tested, this antibody would be useful in flow cytometry. Researchers should determine optimal titers for applications that are not stated below.
Purity/Specificity
This product was prepared from monospecific antiserum by a delipidation and defibrination. Pan Anti-AKT Antibody reacts with the AKT from human tissues. Based on sequence we expect this antibody to react as well with rat, mouse, and chicken AKT.
