Description

General description

RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase (EC 2.7.11.1; UniProt P31749; also known as PKB, PKB alpha, Protein kinase B, Protein kinase B alpha, Proto-oncogene c-Akt, RAC-PK-alpha) is encoded by the AKT1 (also known as PKB, RAC) gene (Gene ID 207) in human. AKTs (protein kinase Bs) are serine/threonine kinases that play an important role in signal transduction pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and diabetes. There exit three types of AKTs (α, β, γ or AKT 1, 2, 3) sharing a high degree of homology, but differing slightly in the localization of their regulatory phosphorylation sites. AKT α is the predominant isoform in most tissues, whereas the highest expression of AKT β is observed in the insulin-responsive tissues, and AKT γ is abundant in brain tissue. Each AKT type is composed of three functionally distinct regions, including an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain that provides a lipid-binding module to direct Akt to PIP2 and PIP3, a central catalytic domain, and a C-terminal hydrophobic motif.

Specificity

Clone SKB1 recognizes Akt1 and Akt2, but not Akt3, GST fusion proteins at 100 ng by immunoblotting analysis using the unconjugated antibody (Cat. No. 05-591).

Immunogen

Epitope: Amino acids 1-149

GST-fusion protein corresponding to residues 1-149 of human Akt1.

Application

Immunocytochemistry Analysis: A 1:100 dilution from a representative lot detected Akt/PKB in A431 cells.
The unconjugated antibody (Cat. No. 05-591) is shown to be suitable also for flow cytometry, immunocytochemistry, immunoprecipitation, and Western blotting applications.
