Product Specification

SPECIES CROSSREACTIVITY:	Human Mouse Rat Dog
CLONE:	11E6
ISOTYPE:	Mouse IgG1
PURITY DETAIL:	Purified from serum-free cell culture supernatant by subsequent thiophilic adsorption and size exclusion chromatography.
FORMULATION:	Lyophilized from 1ml 2x PBS containing 0.09% sodium azide, PEG and sucrose.
RECONSTITUTION:	Reconstitute with 1ml distilled water (15 min., RT).
IMMUNOGEN:	Synthetic peptide corresponding to C-terminal (PQFpSYSA) of human Akt (protein kinase B; PKB) phosphorylated at Ser⁴⁷³.
SPECIFICITY:	Recognizes human, mouse, rat and dog Ser^472/473/474-phosphorylated Akt (see technical note). Does not cross-react with dephosphorylated Akt or other unrelated serine-phosphorylated proteins.
APPLICATION:	Flow Cytometry: (1μg/μm) Immunohistochemistry: Optimal conditions must be determined individually. A starting dilution of 5μg/ml is recommended. Western Blot: (0.5µg/ml for HRPO/ECL detection). Recommended blocking buffer CPPT: 10mM TRIS-HCl, pH 7.4, 0.5% (w/v) casein, 1% (w/v) PEG 4’000, 1% (w/v) polyvinylpyrrolidone, 0.1% (v/v) Tween 20, 150mM sodium chloride. Optimal conditions must be determined individually for each application.

HANDLING:	After reconstitution, prepare aliquots and freeze in liquid nitrogen. Avoid freeze/thaw cycles.
POSITIVE CONTROL:	Included (Prod. No. ALX-840-027).

General Information

BACKGROUND/TECHNICAL INFORMATION

Technical Note: There are three mammalian isoforms of Akt: Akt1 (PKBα), Akt2 (PKBβ), and Akt3 (PKBγ). Akt1 shares 81% and 83% aa identity with Akt2 and Akt3, respectively. Although the three isoforms show broad tissue distribution, Akt1 is most ubiquitously expressed. Akt2 is expressed at a lower level than Akt1 except in insulin-responsive tissues where it predominates. Akt2 is more abundant and more highly activated than Akt1 in adipocytes. Akt3 is expressed at the lowest level except in testes and brain. The C-terminal sequence of the three isoforms are shown below. The phosphorylation site slightly differs, thus the phosphorylation site Ser⁴⁷³ of Akt1 corresponds to Ser⁴⁷⁴ in Akt2 and Ser⁴⁷² in Akt3.
