Western Blotting (WB), Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin-embedded Sections) (IHC (p))
Specificity
The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. Akt2 antibody AP02678PU detects endogenous levels of total Akt2 protein.
Purification
Immunoaffinity chromatography.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized non-phosphopeptide derived from human Akt2 around the phosphorylation site of serine 474 (Q-F-Sp-Y-S).
Suitable for use in Western blot (1: 500-1: 1000) and Immunohistochemistry (1: 50-1: 100). Other applications not tested. Optimal dilutions are dependent on conditions and should be determined by the user.

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
