AKT (phospho-S473) polyclonal antibody

Product Specifications

Background

AKT, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a 57 kDa serine/threonine protein kinase. There are three mammalian isoforms of Akt: AKT1 (PKB alpha), AKT2 (PKB beta) and AKT3 (PKB gamma) with AKT2 and AKT3 being approximately 82% identical with the AKT1 isoform. Each isoform has a pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a kinase domain and a carboxy terminal regulatory domain. AKT was originally cloned from the retrovirus AKT8, and is a key regulator of many signal transduction pathways. Its tight control over cell proliferation and cell viability are manifold; overexpression or inappropriate activation of AKT has been seen in many types of cancer.

Notes

For research use only, not for use in diagnostic procedure.

Specificity

P-AKT (S473) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of AKT1 only when phosphorylated at Ser473. This antibody also recognizes AKT2 and AKT3 when phosphorylated at the corresponding residues.
