Akt (N-terminal region) Antibody

Applications

  • WB

Reactivity

  • Human
  • Mouse
  • Rat
Overview
Catalog # bsm-70329m
Product Name Akt (N-terminal region) Antibody
Applications WB
Specificity The antibody detects a 60 kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of phoshorylated Akt on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of A431 + calyculin A cell lysate. Similar results were seen in calyculin A treated human aortic endothelial and HeLa cells, rabbit spleen fibroblasts, and rat pituitary cells. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Akt, and may recognize Akt2 and Akt3.
Reactivity Human, Mouse, Rat
Specifications
Conjugation Unconjugated
Host Mouse
Source Clone M101 was generated from a recombinant protein containing amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of human Akt1.
Clonality Monoclonal
Clone # M101
Isotype IgG1
Purification Purified by Protein A.
Storage Buffer PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol
Storage Condition Storage at -20C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20C.

Synonyms PKBalpha, PKB, AKT
Background 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.
