Western blot analysis of AKT2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4550) in mouse liver tissue lysates (35 ug/lane). AKT2 (arrow) was detected using the purified AKT2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4550) (1 : 60 dilution).
Western Blot (Transfected lysate)
Western blot analysis of AKT2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4550) in 293 cell line lysates transiently transfected with the AKT2 gene (2 ug/lane). AKT2 (arrow) was detected using the purified AKT2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4550) (1 : 60 dilution).
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human colon carcinoma reacted with AKT2 polyclonal antibody (Cat # PAB4550) , which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining . This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated .
This gene is a putative oncogene encoding a protein belonging to a subfamily of serine/threonine kinases containing SH2-like (Src homology 2-like) domains. The gene was shown to be amplified and overexpressed in 2 of 8 ovarian carcinoma cell lines and 2 of 15 primary ovarian tumors. Overexpression contributes to the malignant phenotype of a subset of human ductal pancreatic cancers. The encoded protein is a general protein kinase capable of phophorylating several known proteins.
