SKU TA389045

Anti-Akt (Ser-473), Phosphospecific Antibody

Product Data

• Clone Name: M114
• Application: IP, WB
• Recommended Dilution: WB: 1:250
• Reactivity: Human, Mouse, Rat
• Antibody Host: Mouse
• Isotype: IgG1
• Immunogen: Clone M114 was generated from a peptide containing amino acid residues surrounding Serine 473 in human Akt1. This sequence is highly conserved in human and mouse Akt, and may recognize Akt2 and Akt3.
• Specificity: This antibody detects a 60 kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of Akt on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of mouse NIH3T3 cells treated with PDGF and human A431 cells treated with EGF.
• Buffer: PBS + 0.02% NaN3
• Concentration: lot specific
• Purification: Protein G Purified
• Conjugation: Unconjugated
• Storage: Recommended that the undiluted antibody be aliquoted into smaller working volumes (10-30 uL/vial depending on usage) upon arrival and stored long term at -20° C or -80° C, while keeping a working aliquot stored at 4° C for short term. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles. Stable for at least 1 year.
• Stability: After date of receipt, stable for at least 1 year at -20°C.
• Shipping: Blue Ice
• Predicted Protein Size: 60

  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.
