AKT1 (v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1) is a Ser/Thr protein kinase, and is also called protein kinase B (PKB). This protein is activated when it is phosphorylated at serine 473 and threonine 308. This gene is localized to human chromosome 14q32.32.
Synonyms: Anti-C-AKT antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-PKB antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-Protein kinase B antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-RAC-alpha serine/threonine-protein kinase antibody produced in rabbit; Anti-RAC-PK-alpha antibody produced in rabbit

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: RAC-a is an enzyme encoded by the AKT1 gene in humans. The Akt/tuberin/mTOR pathway plays an important role in the regulation of DNA damage and repair pathways that may predispose diabetic kidneys to pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma. The pathway is also critically involved in cancer cell growth, invasion and survival.
