Anti-PDK1 (PDPK1, PI-P3 Dependent Kinase, 3a Phosphoinositide-dependent Protein Kinase-1)

PDK-1 (3-Phosphoinositide-dependent Protein Kinase-1) phosphorylates AGC kinases. PDK-1 activates conventional PKC and PKCz (zeta) through phosphorylation of critical threonine, residues in the activation loop. PDK-1 also phosphorylates Protein Kinase B (PKB) at threonine 308 in the presence of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate. Active Akt inactivates Glycogen Synthase Kinase-3 (GSK3), eventually leading to the dephosphorylation and activation of glycogen synthase, and the stimulation of glycogen synthesis. Because of the role that PDK1 plays in insulin-induced glycogen synthesis and PKC activation, it is a potentially important target for metabolic drug research. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:750 , Western Blot: 1:750, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher. Recommended Secondary Antibodies: I1904-39: IgG, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt xRb, I1904-40A: IgG, H&L, X-Adsorbed (HRP) Pab Gt xRb, I1904-46Q: IgG, H&L (HRP) Pab Gt xRb, Storage and Stability: May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and add glycerol (40-50%). Freeze at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for 12 months at -20°C. 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.
