Target description

Protein Kinase B a (UniProt: P31749; also known as Akt1) are encoded by the AKT1 gene (Gene IDs: 207) in human. Akt, a serine/threonine kinase, is a critical enzyme in several signal transduction pathways involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and diabetes. In mammals three isoforms of Akt have been reported (Akt 1, 2, 3) that exhibit a high degree of homology, but differ slightly in the localization of their regulatory phosphorylation sites. Akt1 plays an important role in growth and anti-apoptosis; Akt2 acts primarily as a regulator of glucose metabolism. Although Akt3 does not contribute significantly to the maintenance of normal metabolism in tissues but is essential for the attainment of normal organ size, probably influencing both cell size and number via mTOR activation. Each Akt isoform is composed of three functionally distinct regions: 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. Activation of Akt involves growth factor binding to a receptor tyrosine kinase and activation of PI 3-kinase that phosphorylates membrane bound PIP2 to generate PIP3. The binding of PIP3 to the PH domain anchors Akt to the plasma membrane. Akt is activated following its phosphorylation at Thr308 on the kinase domain by PDK1 and on Ser473 on the hydrophobic motif by mTORC2. The principal role of Akt is to facilitate growth factor-mediated cell survival and to block apoptotic cell death. Akt achieves this by phosphorylating a variety of substrates, such as Bad, caspase-9, Forkhead transcription factors, and GSK-3. This ZooMAb^® recombinant monoclonal antibody, generated by our propriety technology, offers significantly enhanced specificity, affinity, reproducibility, and stability over conventional monoclonals.

Physical form

Purified recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody IgG, lyophilized in PBS with 5% Trehalose, normal appearance a coarse or translucent resin. The PBS/trehalose components in the ZooMAb^® formulation can have the appearance of a semi-solid (bead like gel) after lyophilization. This is a normal phenomenon. Please follow the recommended reconstitution procedure in the data sheet to dissolve the semi-solid, bead-like, gel-appearing material. The resulting antibody solution is completely stable and functional as proven by full functional testing. Contains no biocide or preservatives, such as azide, or any animal by-products. Larger pack sizes provided as multiples of 25 μL.

Reconstitution

300 μg/mL after reconstitution at 25 μL per vial. Please refer to guidance on suggested starting dilutions and/or titers per application and sample type.

Storage and Stability

Recommend storage of lyophilized product at 2-8°C; Before reconstitution, micro-centrifuge vials briefly to spin down material to bottom of the vial; Reconstitute each vial by adding 25 μL of filtered lab grade water or PBS; Reconstituted antibodies can be stored at 2-8°C, or -20°C for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaws.
