Product Information

• Name: AKTide-2T
• Synonyms: H-ARKRERTYSFGHHA-OH
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: AKTide-2T is a 14-mer peptide which has the ability to bind to the substrate binding domain of Akt1 with a Ki of 12mM. AKt1 is part of the Akt kinase family which are serine/threonine kinase and it is ubiquitously expressed. AKt1 performs roles such as promoting endothelial neoplasms and through phosphorylating angiogenic substrates AKt1 plays a role in angiogenesis. AKT kinases as a whole perform functional roles in cell proliferation, cell growth, survival and intermediary metabolism.During peptide library screening, AKTide-2T was found to contain the optimal motif for successful binding to AKT. When phosphoamino acid analysis of AKTide-2T was carried out it was observed that although AKTide-2T contained two potential AKT phosphorylation sites: serine or threonine, AKT only phosphorylated the serine site. Furthermore it was found that AKTide-2T exhibits properties of being a competitive inhibitor for example it competitively inhibits histone H2B from being phosphorylated by AKT.
