描述：

Phospho-Akt antibodies 可以检测Ser473或Thr308 位点磷酸化的Akt，Akt抗体可以检测内源性的Akt1，Akt2和Akt3总蛋白。此抗体不与相关激酶发生交叉反应。单克隆抗体是采用合成的与Akt Ser473位点，Thr308位点周围残基或小鼠Akt羧基末端序列相对应的磷酸肽免疫兔生产的。该试剂盒包括：#2965 (40uL) 
 #4060 (40uL) 
 #4961 (40uL) 
 #7074 (50uL)Akt，又被称为PKB 或 Rac，在细胞的生长和凋亡中起到关键作用(1-3)。该蛋白激酶可以被胰岛素和多种生长和存活因子激活，在涉及PI3K激酶的wortmannin敏感信号通路中发挥作用（2,3）。Akt可由磷脂结合激活，该过程通过活化环中的Thr308位点以及羧基端Ser473位点的磷酸化完成，其中Thr308的磷酸化由PDK1完成(4)。 之前推测PDK2在Ser473位点磷酸化Akt，后被证实为哺乳动物rapamycin靶蛋白mTOR 的作用， 它存在在一个含有rictor和Sin1 的rapamycin非敏感复合体中。 Akt促进细胞的生长通过抑制细胞的凋亡 ，例如Akt可以抑制下游靶蛋白Bad (7), forkhead 转录因子 (8), c-Raf (9), and caspase-9。PTEN是PI3K/Akt信号通路的主要负调控因子(10)。 LY294002是特异性的 PI3K 激酶抑制剂(11)。Akt 的另外一个主要功能是通过磷酸化并进而抑制GSK-3α 和 β来调控糖原的合成(12,13)。 Akt 也可以调控胰岛素诱导的葡萄糖转运 (12)。除此之外，Akt还可以调控细胞周期，这个功能通过抑制GSK-3β，从而调控其下游的Cyclin D1 的磷酸化和降解 (14)，或者负向调控cyclin依赖的激酶抑制因子 p27 Kip (15) 和 p21 Waf1/CIP1 (16)来实现。 Akt 也可以通过直接磷酸化含有raptor的rapamycin敏感复合体中的mTOR来调控细胞的生长(17)。 更重要的是， Akt磷酸化并失活TSC2， 而TCS2是mTOR-raptor复合物中mTOR的抑制因子(18,19)。 此Akt活化试剂盒为评估在Ser473和Thr308 位点处于活化状态的Akt和总Akt水平提供了经济的手段。本试剂盒包含足量的一抗和二抗可以进行4次western blot实验。

Specificity / Sensitivity

The phospho-Akt antibodies detect endogenous levels of Akt only when phosphorylated at either Ser473 or Thr308. The Akt antibody detects endogenous levels of total Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3 proteins independent of their phosphorylation state. It does not cross-react with related kinases.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding either Ser473, Thr308 or from the carboxy-terminal sequence of mouse Akt.

Background

Akt, also referred to as PKB or Rac, plays a critical role in controlling survival and apoptosis (1-3). This protein kinase is activated by insulin and various growth and survival factors to function in a wortmannin-sensitive pathway involving PI3 kinase (2,3). Akt is activated by phospholipid binding and activation loop phosphorylation at Thr308 by PDK1 (4) and by phosphorylation within the carboxy terminus at Ser473. The previously elusive PDK2 responsible for phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 has been identified as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in a rapamycin-insensitive complex with rictor and Sin1 (5,6). Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of several targets, including Bad (7), forkhead transcription factors (8), c-Raf (9), and caspase-9. PTEN phosphatase is a major negative regulator of the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway (10). LY294002 is a specific PI3 kinase inhibitor (11). Another essential Akt function is the regulation of glycogen synthesis through phosphorylation and inactivation of GSK-3α and β (12,13). Akt may also play a role in insulin stimulation of glucose transport (12). In addition to its role in survival and glycogen synthesis, Akt is involved in cell cycle regulation by preventing GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation and degradation of cyclin D1 (14) and by negatively regulating the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p27 Kip (15) and p21 Waf1/CIP1 (16). Akt also plays a critical role in cell growth by directly phosphorylating mTOR in a rapamycin-sensitive complex containing raptor (17). More importantly, Akt phosphorylates and inactivates tuberin (TSC2), an inhibitor of mTOR within the mTOR-raptor complex (18,19).The Akt activation kit provides an economical means to evaluate the activation status of Akt at both the Ser473 and Thr308 positions as well as the total Akt protein level. The kit includes enough primary and secondary antibodies to perform four Western mini-blot experiments.
