Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat Akt2 antibody by Western Blot.

Detection of Human/Mouse/Rat Akt2 by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, MDA-MB-468 human breast cancer cell line, and U937 human histiocytic lymphoma cell line. PVDF membrane was probed with 0.5 µg/mL Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Akt2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF23151) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). For additional reference, Recombinant Human Active Akt1 (Catalog # 1775-KS), recombinant human Akt2, and recombinant human Akt3 (5 ng/lane) were included. A specific band for Akt2 was detected at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Detection of Human Akt2 antibody by Simple WesternTM.

Detection of Human Akt2 by Simple WesternTM.

Simple Western lane view shows lysates of MCF-7 human breast cancer cell line, loaded at 0.2 mg/mL. A specific band was detected for Akt2 at approximately 60 kDa (as indicated) using 5 µg/mL of Goat Anti-Human/Mouse/Rat Akt2 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF23151) followed by 1:50 dilution of HRP-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF109). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using the 12-230 kDa separation system.

Detection of Mouse Akt2 by Western Blot

Detection of Mouse Akt2 by Western Blot

The activation of upstream regulators for Rac1 following insulin stimulation in the gastrocnemius muscle of Lepob/ob mice. (A) Insulin was administered by intravenous injection, and the phosphorylation of serine in the C-terminal hydrophobic motif of Akt proteins (serine-474 of Akt2) in gastrocnemius muscle was assessed by immunoblot analysis. Total Akt2 and phosphorylated Akt molecules were detected. (B) Quantification of the phosphorylation level of Akt (p-Akt/Akt2) relative to that in unstimulated wild-type muscle. Data are shown as means ± S.E. (n = 3). ** p < 0.01 (Student’s t-test). (C) Insulin was administered by intravenous injection, and the translocation of FLJ00068 to the plasma membrane in gastrocnemius muscle was assessed by immunoblot analysis. FLJ00068 molecules in cytosolic (C) and plasma membrane (P) fractions were detected. (D) Quantification of the protein expression level of FLJ00068 in the cytosol (FLJ00068/ alpha -tubulin) relative to that in unstimulated wild-type muscle. Data are shown as means ± S.E. (n = 3). (E) Quantification of the protein expression level of FLJ00068 in the plasma membrane (FLJ00068/Na+-K+-ATPase) relative to that in unstimulated wild-type muscle. Data are shown as means ± S.E. (n = 3). ** p < 0.01, *** p < 0.001, (Student’s t-test).

Background: Akt2

The serine/threonine kinase Akt, also known as protein kinase B (PKB), is a central regulator of such diverse cellular processes as glucose uptake, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis. In mammals, three highly homologous members define the Akt family: Akt1 (PKB alpha ), Akt2 (PKB beta ), and Akt3 (PKB gamma ). Akt2 is expressed predominantly in insulin target tissues such as liver, skeletal muscle, and fat. All three Akts contain an amino-terminal pleckstrin homology domain, a central kinase domain, and a carboxyl-terminal regulatory domain.
