The kit is suitable for both research and drug discovery
The kit specifically detects Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 activities, other kinase activities would not be detected.
Shelf Life: 12 months
Background: Akt is a protein kinase that can be activated by insulin and various growth factors and functions in a pathway involving PI3 kinase. Recent evidence suggests that Akt functions to promote cell survival by actively inhibiting apoptosis. The Akt Activity Assay Kit utilizes an Akt-specific antibody to immunoprecipitate Akt from cell lysate. Activity of the Akt is then determined in a kinase reaction using recombinant GSK-3alpha as substrate. Phosphorylation of the GSK-3alpha can be analyzed by Western blot analysis using the phospho-GSK-3alpha specific antibody included in the kit. The kit specifically detects Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 activities, other kinase activities would not be detected.
Summary: Detection method- Western blot analysis using anti-Phospho-GSK-3alpha (Ser 21) antibody at 1:1000 dilutions
Species reactivity- Mammalian
Applications- The Akt Activity Assay Kit utilizes an Akt-specific antibody to immunoprecipitate Akt from cell lysate. Activity of the Akt is then determined in a kinase reaction using recombinant GSK-3alpha as substrate.

Product Notes
The Akt akt (Catalog #AAA841832) is an Assay Kit and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "Akt, Assay Kit" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
