• Positive IF/ICC detected in: NIH/3T3 cells
• Positive FC (Intra) detected in: NIH/3T3 cells

Recommended dilution

• Western Blot (WB): WB : 1:500-1:1000
• Immunohistochemistry (IHC): IHC : 1:50-1:500

Background Information

AKT2 is one of 3 closely related serine/threonine-protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinase, and which regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis and their activation has been observed in a wide variety of cancers. AKT2 is mainly involved in cancer cell survival, apoptosis inhibition, migration and invasion(PMID:21979951). Defects in AKT2 are a cause of susceptibility to breast cancer (BC). AKT2 promotes metastasis of tumor cells without affecting the latency of tumor development. And defects in AKT2 are a cause of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) and hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia with hemihypertrophy (HIHGHH). The full length protein has four glycosylation sites.
