AKT2 Rat Monoclonal Antibody [Clone ID: 16G11.E8]

Specifications

Product Data
Clone Name	16G11.E8
Applications	ELISA, FC, IF, IHC, WB
Recommend Dilution	WB: User Optimized IHC: User Optimized IF: User Optimized FC: 1.0 µg/mL ELISA: User Optimized
Reactivity	Human
Host	Rat
Clonality	Monoclonal
Immunogen	Anti-AKT2 Antibody was produced in rat by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to internal residues of human AKT2 protein.
Specificity	Anti-AKT2 antibody is directed against human AKT2. The antibody detects both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of the protein. Anti-AKT2 was purified from concentrated tissue culture supernate by Protein G chromatography. Cross reactivity with AKT2 from other species has not been determined, however, the sequence of the immunogen shows 88% identity to mouse and 90% identity with rat, therefore, cross reactivity is expected.
Formulation	0.02 M Potassium Phosphate, 0.5 M Sodium Chloride, pH 7.2
Reconstitution Method	Restore with deionized water (or equivalent) - Reconstitution Volume: 50µL
Concentration	1.0 mg/mL - lot specific
Conjugation	APC
Storage Condition	Store vial at 4° C prior to restoration. Restore with deionized water (or equivalent). This product is stable for several weeks at 4° C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. For extended storage, aliquot contents and freeze at -20° C or below. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Store reagent in the dark. Use subdued lighting during handling and incubation of cells prior to analysis.
Gene Name	AKT serine/threonine kinase 2
Database Link	Entrez Gene 208 Human UniProt ID P31751
Background	AKT is a component of the PI-3 kinase pathway and is activated by phosphorylation at Ser 473 and Thr 308. AKT is a cytoplasmic protein also known as AKT1, Protein Kinase B (PKB) and rac (related to A and C kinases). AKT is a key regulator of many signal transduction pathways. AKT Exhibits tight control over cell proliferation and cell viability. Overexpression or inappropriate activation of AKT is noted in many types of cancer. AKT mediates many of the downstream events of PI 3-kinase (a lipid kinase activated by growth factors, cytokines and insulin). PI 3-kinase recruits AKT to the membrane, where it is activated by PDK1 phosphorylation. Once phosphorylated, AKT dissociates from the membrane and phosphorylates targets in the cytoplasm and the cell nucleus. AKT has two main roles: (i) inhibition of apoptosis; (ii) promotion of proliferation. Anti-AKT2 (RAT) APC conjugated Monoclonal Antibody is ideal for investigators involved in Cell Signaling, Cancer, Neuroscience, Signal Transduction research.
Synonyms	rat anti-Anti-AKT2 Allophycocyanin Conjugation, APC Conjugated rat anti-Anti-AKT2, AKT 2 antibody, AKT-2, PKB antibody, PKB beta antibody, PKBBETA antibody, PRKBB antibody, Protein kinase Akt 2 antibody, Protein kinase B beta antibody, RAC-beta serine/threonine-protein kinase, RAC-PK-beta
Note	Anti-AKT2 APC Antibody is tested for Flow Cytometry. This antibody is suitable for ELISA, immunohistochemistry, and western blotting. Expect a band approximately 56 kDa in size corresponding to AKT2 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. This monoclonal antibody reacts with human AKT. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. For immunohistochemistry we recommend the use of fresh frozen tissues. Attempts at staining paraffin-embedded formalin fixed tissues were negative. No pre-treatment of sample is required.
