Antigen Preparation
A synthetic peptide corresponding to the close to C-term of human AKT1 protein.
Background
"Akt [also known as PKB (Protein kinase B) is a family of serine/threonine kinases that plays an important role in signal transduction. There are three known isoforms of Akt in mammalian cells [Akt1 (α), Akt2 (β) and Akt3 (γ)]; Akt is activated by insulin and growth and survival factors. Akt1 is phosphorylated within the activation loop at threonine 308 and the C-terminus at serine 473 (S473). Additionally, Akt has been referred to as an oncogene because it has increased activity in a number of tumors."
PURIFICATION
The Rabbit IgG is purified by site-modified Epitope Affinity Purification.

SPECIFICITY
"The motif corresponding to the major autophosphorylation site of the human AKT1 kinase protein. This antibody does not cross react to the non-phosphorylated AKT1 or with other unrelated phosphorylated serine. Ser473 corresponds to QFSYS in human, rat, mouse, chicken and canis of AKT/PKB proteins"

FORMULATION
This affinity purified antibody is supplied in sterile Tris-buffered saline (pH7.2) containing antibody stabilizer
|
STORAGE
The antibodies are stable for 24 months from date of receipt when stored at –20oC to –70oC. The antibodies can be stored at 2oC-8oC for three month without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freezing-thawing cycles.
