Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-Akt (S473) Pan Specific Antibody
Detection of Mouse and Human Phospho-Akt (S473) Pan Specific by Western Blot.
Western blot shows lysates of NIH-3T3 mouse embryonic fibroblast cell line untreated (-) or treated (+) with 100 ng/mL Human PDGF (120-HD) for 15 minutes and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line untreated or treated with 100 ng/mL Recombinant Human IGF-1 (291-G1) for 15 minutes. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL of Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-Akt (S473) Pan Specific Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF887), followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (HAF008). A specific band was detected for Phospho-Akt (S473) Pan Specific at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.Akt in Human Breast Cancer Tissue.
Akt phosphorylated at S473 was detected in immersion fixed paraffin-embedded sections of human breast cancer tissue using Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-Akt (S473) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF887) at 10 µg/mL overnight at 4 °C. Tissue was stained using the Anti-Rabbit HRP-DAB Cell & Tissue Staining Kit (brown; CTS005) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Lower panel shows a lack of labeling if primary antibodies are omitted and tissue is stained only with secondary antibody followed by incubation with detection reagents.

Serum-starved MCF-7 human breast cancer cells were unstimulated (blue open histogram) or activated with 100 ng/mL Recombinant human IGF-1 (Catalog # 291-G1, dark orange filled histogram) for 15 minutes, then stained with Rabbit Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-Akt (S473) Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF887) followed by PE-conjugated Anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary Antibody (F0110). To facilitate intracellular staining, cells were fixed with formaldehyde (FC004) and permeabilized with Methanol.Applications for Human/Mouse/Rat Phospho-Akt (S473) Pan Specific Antibody

Background: Akt
Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3 make up a family of serine/threonine kinases, often activated downstream of growth factor receptors and PI 3-Kinase. Each Akt family member contains an N-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a central kinase domain, and a C-terminal regulatory domain. They have putative roles in cell proliferation and survival, and Akt perturbations are thought to play an important role in tumorigenesis.
