It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Human AKT1 with 27.3 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n- Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003cbr\u003e\nAKT1 is one of 3 closely related serine\/threonine-protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinases. These kinases regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis. The AKT kinases mediate these processes 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.\u003cbr\u003e\nEach AKT family member contains an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a central kinase domain, and a C-terminal regulatory domain. Mouse and rat AKT1 exhibit 98% amino acid identity to human AKT1.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nAKT1 also known as Protein Kinase B (PKB) is a serine\/threonine kinase involved in various cellular processes. AKT1 plays an important role in mediating signals for cell survival growth and metabolism. This protein has a molecular weight of approximately 56 kDa. AKT1 is ubiquitously expressed in many tissues including the brain heart and lungs showing its importance in multiple physiological contexts. Phosphorylation of AKT1 at serine 473 denoted as p-AKT S473 is an important modification that regulates its activity.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAKT1 regulates a broad spectrum of cellular functions through signaling pathways. It is an important player in the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and AKT pathway forming part of a complex involved in promoting cell survival and growth. AKT1 interacts closely with other proteins such as mTOR influencing cellular metabolism and autophagy. The phosphorylation state of AKT1 is critical for its activity with modifications like p-AKT S473 impacting its interaction with cellular substrates.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAKT1 participates in the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR signaling cascade instrumental in cell proliferation and metabolism. AKT1 integrates signals from insulin and growth factors modulating pathways that control cell growth and glucose uptake. This pathway involves proteins like mTOR and phospho-AKT which coordinate cellular responses to external stimuli. AKT1’s phosphorylation at serine 473 and the involvement of AKT1 E17K a gain-of-function mutation influence these pathways significantly.\u003cbr\u003e\nAKT1 has associations with cancer and metabolic disorders. Dysregulation of the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR pathway involving AKT1 and mTOR often results in oncogenic transformation and uncontrolled cellular proliferation. In cancer such as breast cancer AKT1 mutations including AKT1 E17K are implicated altering cell signals for growth. Additionally AKT1 is connected to metabolic disorders such as Type 2 diabetes where it affects insulin signaling and glucose metabolism highlighting its interaction with metabolic proteins like mTOR and phospho-AKT.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843573665961,"sku":"ab214023","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab214023","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
