Application Note: Anti-AKT Antibodies are suitable for ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. Expect a band approximately 56 kDa in size corresponding to AKT proteins by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. All 3 primary monoclonal antibodies reacts with human AKT. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. For immunohistochemistry we recommend the use of fresh frozen tissues. Attempts at staining paraffin-embedded formalin fixed tissues were negative. No pre-treatment of sample is required. This sampler kit consists of sample sizes of anti-AKT1, anti-AKT2 and anti-AKT3 mouse monoclonal antibody and HRP conjugated anti-Mouse IgG secondary antibody (p/n 200-301-I51S; 200-301-BR8S; 200-301-J36S and 610-403-C46S, respectively).

Immunogen: All Anti-AKT isoform specific Antibodies were produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to internal residues of human AKT1, AKT2 or AKT3 protein.
Other Performance Data: User Optimized
Physical State: Liquid and Lyophilized
Purity and Specificity: This primary antibody kit has been carefully chosen to recognize all 3 isoforms of AKT. Anti-AKT1 antibody is directed against human AKT1. Anti-AKT2 antibody is directed against human AKT2. Anti-AKT3 antibody is directed against human AKT3. The antibodies detect both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of the protein. The antibodies were purified from ascites by Protein A chromatography.
Background: This primary antibody kit is designed to detect and quantify endogenous protein levels of human AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3. Each antibody is designed to recognize a specific isoform of AKT. AKT 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 Antibodies are ideal for investigators involved in Cell Signaling, Neuroscience and Signal Transduction research.
