Revvity, ALSU-PAKT3-A50K, AlphaLISA Human and Mouse Phospho-AKT3 (Ser472) Detection Kit, 50,000 Assay Points

Overview
AKT3 is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a key member of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, playing critical roles in brain development, neuronal survival, and cellular growth regulation. AKT3 is activated by phosphorylation at Thr305 and Ser472 downstream of PI3K, promoting protein synthesis, cell survival, and glucose metabolism while regulating cell size and proliferation. It is particularly important in the central nervous system, where it controls brain size, neuronal differentiation, and synaptic plasticity. Mutations or altered expression of AKT3 are associated with microcephaly, macrocephaly, neurological disorders, and various cancers including melanoma, breast, and prostate carcinomas. In oncology, AKT3 promotes tumor cell survival, invasion, and drug resistance while supporting cancer stem cell maintenance and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition. Therapeutic targeting of AKT3 through selective inhibitors represents a promising strategy for both neurodevelopmental disorders and aggressive cancer subtypes, particularly those with enhanced metastatic potential.
The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human and Mouse Phospho-AKT3 (Ser472) is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-AKT3 (Ser472) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.

How it works
Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra assay principle
The Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra assay measures a protein target when phosphorylated at a specific residue.
The assay uses two antibodies which recognize the phospho epitope and a distal epitope on the targeted protein. AlphaLISA assays require two bead types: Acceptor and Donor beads. Acceptor beads are coated with a proprietary CaptSure™ agent to specifically immobilize the assay specific antibody, labeled with a CaptSure tag. Donor beads are coated with streptavidin to capture one of the detection antibodies, which is biotinylated. In the presence of phosphorylated protein, the two antibodies bring the Donor and Acceptor beads in close proximity whereby the singlet oxygen transfers energy to excite the Acceptor bead, allowing the generation of a luminescent Alpha signal. The amount of light emission is directly proportional to the quantity of phosphoprotein present in the sample.

 

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra two-plate assay protocol
The two-plate protocol involves culturing and treating the cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well OptiPlate™ plate before the addition of Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra detection reagents. This protocol permits the cells viability and confluence to be monitored. In addition, lysates from a single well can be used to measure multiple targets.

Phospho-AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra one-plate assay protocol
Detection of Phosphorylated target protein with AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra reagents can be performed in a single plate used for culturing, treatment, and lysis. No washing steps are required. This HTS designed protocol allows for miniaturization while maintaining AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra quality.
