Putative human homolog of the proto-oncogene v-akt of the acutely transforming retrovirus AKT8 have been cloned. These protein-serine/threonine kinase proteins have a catalytic domain closely related to both PKA and PKC and have been designated rac (related to A and C kinases), pkb (Protein kinase B) or Akt. RAC protein kinase family members feature pleckstrin homology (PH) domain at the amino terminus and a protein-serine/threonine kinase catalytic domain at the carboxy terminus. The Amino terminal domain (referred to as AH-Akt Homology domain) spans from 1-148 amino acids and contains the PH domain, a region found in diverse group of signaling proteins. The PH domain (amino acids 1-106) has been implicated in interactions with other proteins such as G-protein bg subunits, as well as phosphoinositides. The kinase domain is located between residues 148 to 411. These enzymes are activated by diverse ligands such as PGDF, EGF and basic FG in NIH 3T3, Rat-1 or Swiss-3T3 cells. AKT1 (RAC-PK-a or PKB-a) is the human homolog of v-akt and is identical to RAC gene. The protein has been observed to show different migratory patterns on a western blot according to the state of phosphorylation of the protein. Phosphatase treatment has been shown to result in inactivation of the protein. Source: 16aa peptide of rat AKT1 (1) Location: ~C-terminal Species Sequence Homology: The rat peptide is 100% conserved in Mouse/human and 93% homologous in bovine. The antibodies react with purified recombinant human AKT1. Application ELISA (1:10K-1:100K, using 50-100ng of control peptide/well). Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4C for short-term only. For long-term storage, store at -20C. Aliquots are stable for at least 6 months at -20C. 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.
