Akt (phospho-Ser473)-biotin peptide is a biotinylated peptide corresponding to amino acids 465 to 480 of Akt1. Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a serine/threonine kinase belonging to the AGC kinase family and has three isoforms in mammals: Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3.1,2 Akt kinases function downstream of activated tyrosine kinases and PI3K to regulate a variety of cellular processes, including cell size, growth, proliferation, and survival, as well as genome stability, glucose metabolism, and neovascularization.2 Akt is activated following phosphorylation at threonine 308, 309, and 305 and serine 473, 474, and 472 for Akt1, -2, and -3, respectively.3 This product can be used in the detection of antibodies targeting Akt (phospho-Ser473) in biological samples.
