Quick Overview for AKT2 antibody (pSer474) (ABIN196827)

Target: AKT2 (V-Akt Murine Thymoma Viral Oncogene Homolog 2 (AKT2))

Reactivity: Human, Mouse

Host: Rabbit

Clonality: Polyclonal

Conjugate: This AKT2 antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))

Product Details anti-AKT2 Antibody

Binding Specificity: pSer474

Specificity: The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. The antibody against non-phosphopeptide was removed by chromatography using non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the phosphorylation site. Akt2 (phospho-Ser474) antibody detects endogenous levels of Akt2 only when phosphorylated at serine 474.

Purification: Immunoaffinity chromatography.

Immunogen: The antiserum was produced against synthesized phosphopeptide derived from human Akt2 around the phosphorylation site of serine 474 (Q-F-SP-Y-S).

Application Details

Application Notes: Suitable for use in Western blot (1: 500approx. 1: 1000) and Immunohistochemistry (1: 50approx. 1: 100).
Other applications not tested.
Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

Target Details for AKT2

Target: AKT2 (V-Akt Murine Thymoma Viral Oncogene Homolog 2 (AKT2))

Alternative Name: AKT2 / PKB beta

Background: The serine/threonine kinase Akt (protein kinase B or PKB) has a central role in the regulation of several signaling pathways controlling cell proliferation, apoptosis, angiogenesis, and diabetes. In humans, there are three genes in the "Akt family": Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3. AKT2 is a putative oncogene and is a general protein kinase capable of phophorylating several known proteins. AKT2 is amplified and overexpressed in some human carcinomas. AKT2 acts primarily as a regulator of glucose metabolism.Synonyms: Protein kinase Akt-2, Protein kinase B beta, RAC-PK-beta, RAC-beta serine/threonine-protein kinase
