Product Specific Information

This peptide corresponds to 19 amino acids near the carboxy terminus of human AKT1S1.

PEP-1608 can be used as a blocking peptide with polyclonal antibody PA5-34565. For use as a blocking peptide in Western blot, incubate the peptide with equal volume of antibody for 30 min at 37ºC.

Target Information

The Akt signaling pathway contributes to the regulation of apoptosis after a variety of cell death signals. AKT1S1, also known as PRAS40, is a proline-rich substrate of the kinase AKT1 and is thought to play a role in neuroprotection mediated by nerve growth factor (NGF) after transient focal cerebral ischemia. AKT1S1 is also a substrate and potential regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth and cell cycle, and a negative regulator of autophagy. Treatment with the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) can induce the phosphorylation of AKT1S1 via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in PC12 cells.
