Produktinformation

• Name: Akt antibody
• Marke: Biosynth
• Beschreibung: Protein kinase B (also known as RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase: Atk) is a serum and glucocorticoid-regulated protein kinase with three highly homologous isoforms (Akt1, 2 and 3). Akt1 and Akt3 are the predominant isoforms expressed in the brain, whereas Akt2 is mainly expressed in skeletal muscle and embryonic brown fat. These proteins play major regulatory roles in a range of physiological processes including: growth, proliferation, cell survival, angiogenesis, metabolism and Akt is also considered a proto-oncogene.Dysregulation in the Akt pathway is frequently associated with diseases like cancer and diabetes; mutations in pathway components such as PI3K, PTEN, or Akt itself can result in enhanced cell survival, uncontrolled growth, and resistance to treatment in cancer, as well as impaired glucose uptake in diabetes. Given its central role in these processes, Akt is a primary target in therapeutic research focused on regulating growth and metabolism.
