Product Overview :
AKT/PKB Kinase (Human) Assay/Inhibitor Screening Kit is a single-site, non-quantitative immunoassay for AKT activity. Plates are pre-coated with "AKTide-2T" (10), which can be efficiently phosphorylated by AKT1, 2 and 3 on a microtiter plate. The detector antibody is AT-3E2, an antibody that specifically detects only the phosphorylated "AKTide-2T".
Description :
The AKT oncogene was isolated from the directly transforming murine retrovirus AKT8, which was isolated from an AKR mouse thymoma cell line. Staal cloned the human cellular homolog, AKT1. He found a 20-fold amplification of the AKT1 gene in 1 of 5 gastric adenocarcinomas tested. Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) generate specific inositol lipids that have been implicated in the regulation of cell growth, proliferation, survival, differentiation and cytoskeletal changes. One of the best characterized targets of PI3K lipid products is the protein kinase AKT or protein kinase B (PKB). In quiescent cells, AKT resides in the cytosol in a low-activity conformation. Upon cellular stimulation, AKT is activated through recruitment to cellular membranes by PI3K lipid products and phosphorylation by 3"-phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1).
Applications :
1) Screening inhibitors or activators of AKT.2) Detecting the effects of pharmacological agents on AKT activity.
