AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1) is also called as v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 1 and PKB α (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.
Specificity
This antibody reacts to Akt only when phosphorylated at Ser473. There is no cross-reactivity with Akt without phosphorylation at Ser473. This antibody may also react to bovine, mouse or rat Phospho-Akt (Ser473), as predicted by immunogen homology

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.

Accumulating data have indicated a fundamental role of eosinophils in regulating adipose tissue homeostasis. Here, we performed whole-genome RNA sequencing of the small intestinal tract, which suggested the presence of impaired lipid metabolism in eosinophil-deficient ΔdblGATA mice. ΔdblGATA mice fed
