AKT3 Western Chemiluminescent Blotting Kit, clone 9A5.H9.G7

Rockland Immunochemicals' Chemiluminescent Western Blot Kit for AKT3 combines all of the necessary reagents with a rapid proven protocol and the extremely high signal detection of our luminol chemiluminescent substrate for the detection of native and/or recombinant human AKT3 protein. The kit is designed to detect both unphosphorylated and phosphorylated forms of the protein. Cross reactivity with AKT3 from other species has not been determined, however, the sequence of the immunogen shows 100% identity to human, mouse, and rat, therefore, cross reactivity is expected. Cross-reactivity with AKT1 and AKT2 has not been determined. This kit contains sufficient substrate for up to 5 mini blots at 7.5 x 8 cm2 (1,800 cm2) and is stable for at least 1 year when stored as indicated. Protein function: AKT3 is one of 3 closely related serine/threonine- protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinase, and which regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis. This is mediated through serine and/or threonine phosphorylation of a range of downstream substrates. Over 100 substrate candidates have been reported so far, but for most of them, no isoform specificity has been reported. AKT3 is the least studied AKT isoform. It plays an important role in brain development and is crucial for the viability of malignant glioma cells. AKT3 isoform may also be the key molecule in up-regulation and down-regulation of MMP13 via IL13. Required for the coordination of mitochondrial biogenesis with growth factor-induced increases in cellular energy demands. Down-regulation by RNA interference reduces the expression of the phosphorylated form of BAD, resulting in the induction of caspase- dependent apoptosis. [The UniProt Consortium]
