Anti-AKT3, ID (RAC-gamma Serine/Threonine-protein Kinase, RAC-PK-gamma, Protein Kinase Akt-3, Protei

The serine-threonine kinase Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is an important effector for phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase signaling initiated by numerous growth factors and hormones. Akt2/PKB beta, one of three known mammalian isoforms of Akt/PKB, has been demonstrated recently to be required for at least some of the metabolic actions. Over expression of exogenous Akt enhances cell survival by dramatically reducing apoptosis and transfection of dominant negative mutant kinase constructs (kinase-dead) inhibits survival of neurons promoted by IGF-1. Akt2 is also expressed in human carcinoma cell lines and primary tumors. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
