| Akt (Ser-473), Phosphospecific Antibody |
| WB, IP |
| This antibody detects a 60 kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of Akt on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse NIH3T3 cells treated with PDGF and human A431 cells treated with EGF. |
| Human, Mouse, Rat |
| Specifications |
| Unconjugated |
| Mouse |
| Clone M114 was generated from a peptide containing amino acid residues surrounding Serine 473 in human Akt1. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Akt, and may recognize Akt2 and Akt3. |

| Purified by Protein G. |
| PBS + 0.02% NaN3 |
| Recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) upon arrival and stored long term at -20 C or -80 C, while keeping a working aliquot stored at 4 C for short term. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for at least 1 year. |

| Akt (PKB, Rac kinase) is a 60kDa ser/thr kinase critical for controlling diverse cellular functions, including glucose metabolism, gene transcription, cell proliferation, and apoptosis. Akt phosphorylates a number of substrates including MBP, glycogen synthetase, PKA RII subunit, and histone H1. Akt is activated in response to insulin and growth factors in a PI3-kinase dependent manner. Activation of PI3-Kinase generates phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate, which induces membrane translocation of Akt coincident with its phosphorylation at Thr-308 and Ser-473. Upon activation, Akt associates with members of the PKC family of kinases, such as PKC_ and PKC_. Ceramide-activated PKC_ leads to phosphorylation of Thr-34 within the pleckstrin homology domain of Akt. This phosphorylation inhibits PIP3 binding to Akt preventing activation of the kinase and may lead to cermide-induced cell death. |
