Anti-Akt2 (PKBb, RAC-PK Gamma 2)

The serine/threonine kinase Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a central regulator of , such diverse cellular processes as glucose uptake, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. In , mammals, three highly homologous members define the Akt family: Akt1 (PKB alpha), Akt2 (PKB beta), and Akt3 (PKBgamma). Akt2 is expressed predominantly in insulin target tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle, and fat. Applications: Suitable for use in Flow Cytometry and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Flow Cytometry: 50ug/ml, Immunohistochemistry: 25ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at 4°C for short-term only. Reconstitute to nominal volume by adding sterile 40-50% glycerol and store at -20°C. Reconstituted product is stable for 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
