This antibody is specific for human and mouse AKT protein. BLAST analysis suggests cross-reactivity with AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3 from human, mouse, rat, and chimpanzee sources based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Cross-reactivity with AKT1, 2, 3 was determined by Western Blot. Cross-reactivity of AKT from other sources has not been determined.

Target Information

AKT, also known as protein kinase B (PKB) or RAS-alpha, is a serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in diverse biological responses such as metabolism regulation, cell survival, and growth. It is activated by insulin, PI3K, IGF1, and other growth factors.
Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of several targets, including forkhead transcription factors and caspase-9.
The AKT pathway is a major target for cancer drug discovery.
