Akt, protein kinase B (PKB), is a serine/threonine kinase which is involved in many cellular signaling pathways and acts as a transducer of many functions initiated by growth factor receptors that activate phosphtidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase).
The major activity of Akt/PKB is to mediate cell survival.
Akt/PKB is also believed to be a critical factor in the genesis of cancer as the tumor suppressor PTEN was found to antagonise PI-3 kinase and Akt/PKB kinase activity.
There are 3 known isoforms of this enzyme in mammalian cells (1/alpha, 2/beta and 3/gamma).
Akt1, 2 and 3 contain a key regulatory serine phosphorylation site in the carboxy-terminal region of the protein.
Akt/PKB phosphorylation is critical for its activity.
Applications:This antibody can be used for detection of AKT3 in human, mouse and rat by western blot analysis.
A protein band of approximate molecular weight of 50kD will be detected.
Recommended Dilution:Western blot: 1-2ug/ml
Storage and Stability:May be stored at 4°C for short-term only.
For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%).
Freeze at -20°C.
Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C.
For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap.
Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
