AKT1 Mouse Antibody [Clone ID: M101]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	M101
Applications	ICC, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: 1:1000 ICC: 1:250
Reactivity	Human, Rat, Mouse
Host	Mouse
Immunogen	Clone M101 was generated from a recombinant protein containing amino acid residues in the N-terminal region of human Akt1. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Akt, and may recognize Akt2 and Akt3.
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.
Formulation	PBS + 1 mg/ml BSA, 0.05% NaN3 and 50% glycerol
Concentration	lot specific
Purification	Protein A Purified
Conjugation	Unconjugated
Storage Condition	Storage at -20°C is recommended, as aliquots may be taken without freeze/thawing due to presence of 50% glycerol. Stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
Predicted Protein Size	60
Database Link	UniProt ID P31749
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 PKCδ and PKCζ. Ceramide-activated PKCζ 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.
Note	Protein G purified tissue culture supernatant.
