Product Info
Background Akt1, also known as Protein kinase B, is a serine/threonine kinase that is at the center of many signal transduction pathways. Akt1 regulates glucose metabolism, transcription, apoptosis, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and cell motility (1). The activation of Akt1 occurs downstream of PI-3K, which upon activation by an extracellular molecule, generates PIP (3) (2). PIP (3) is a lipid second messenger that promotes the translocation of Akt1 to the plasma membrane via PH (pleckstrin-homology) domain binding (2-4). At the plasma membrane Akt1 is phosphorylated and activated by PDK-1 at its catalytic site on residue Thr308 (1). Residue Ser473 is also phosphorylated at this time but the kinase has not yet been identified (1). In this activated form Akt1 phosphorylates proteins that contain the motif, R-x-R-x-x-S/T-F/L, at the plasma membrane, in the cytosol, and in the nucleus (1). In addition to its kinase activity, Akt1 forms complexes with other proteins that are not substrates. These other proteins act as modulators of Akt1 activity (1). 
Origin Akt1 (C20) is provided as an affinity purified rabbit polyclonal antibody, raised against a synthetic peptide mapping to the carboxy terminal domain of human Akt1. 
Product Details Each vial contains 200 µg/ml of affinity purified rabbit IgG Akt1 (C20) DB059, in 1 ml PBS containing 0.1 % sodium azide and 0.2% gelatin. 
Competition Studies A blocking peptide is also available, DB059P, for use in competition studies. Each vial contains 0.100 mg of peptide in 0.5 ml PBS with 0.1% sodium azide and 100 mg BSA. 
Immunogen Synthetic peptide mapping to the carboxy terminal domain of human AKT1. Differs from corresponding mouse sequence by one residue. 
Specificity Mouse, rat, and human Akt1 
Use Western blotting, immunoprecipitation, and immunohistochemistry
