Revvity, 63ADK081PEH, HTRF Human Total AKT2 Detection Kit, 10,000 Assay Points

Overview
This kit is designed to monitor the modulation in expression of total AKT2, and is used as a normalization assay with our Phospho-AKT2 (Ser473) kit. Also known as protein kinase B (PKB), AKT is an oncogene playing a key role in controlling apoptosis, cell proliferation, transcription, cell migration, and glucose metabolism. AKT2 in particular plays a critical role in the insulin pathway, and thus has important applications in diabetes and metabolic research.
HTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:

Homogeneous add-and-read format
No wash steps
Low background
Straightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates
Stable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays
How it works
Total-AKT2 assay principle
The Total-AKT2 assay quantifies the expression level of AKT2 in a cell lysate. Contrary to Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis or transfer. The Total-AKT2 assay uses two labeled antibodies: one coupled to a donor fluorophore, the other to an acceptor. Both antibodies are highly specific for a distinct epitope on the protein. In presence of AKT2 in a cell extract, the addition of these conjugates brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity with the acceptor and thereby generates a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of the protein present in the sample, and provides a means of assessing the proteins expression under a no-wash assay format.

 

Total-AKT2 2-plate assay protocol
The 2 plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis then transferring lysates to a 384-well low volume detection plate before adding Total AKT2 HTRF detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored.

 

Total-AKT2 1-plate assay protocol
The 2 plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis then transferring lysates to a 384-well low volume detection plate before adding Total AKT2 HTRF detection reagents. This protocol enables the cells' viability and confluence to be monitored. Application-Cell Signaling
