AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1) is also called as v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 and PKBα (protein kinase B). It is expressed in liver, muscle and adipocytes. AKT1 gene is mapped to human chromosome 14q32. It is a member of AKT family that has an amino-terminal pleckstrin homology (PH) domain, a short α helical linker and a carboxyl-terminal kinase domain.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized peptide derived from human Akt around the phosphorylation site of Ser473.
Immunogen Range: 431-480
Application
Anti-phospho-Akt (pSer473) antibody has been used in western blotting.[1]
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Western Blotting (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1) controls the survival of cells and anti-apoptotic actions that attack the pathogenesis of several cancers , hence it plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis. In mice, AKT1 is essential for normal development.

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) with its potent anti-oxidative capabilities is known for its beneficial effects ameliorating oxidative injury to cardiac cells. Although studies have provided convincing evidence to support the cardioprotective effects of EGCg, it remains unclear whether EGCg affect trans-membrane signalling
What is the central question of this study? Translocation of nNOSμ initiates catabolic signalling via FoxO3a and skeletal muscle atrophy during mechanical unloading. Recent evidence suggests that unloading-induced muscle atrophy and FoxO3a activation are redox sensitive. Will a mimetic of
