  • Product overview

    Akt is a serine, threonine protein kinase critical in cellular metabolism, glucose uptake, protein synthesis, cell proliferation, growth, apoptosis, survival, angiogenesis, migration and invasion. It acts downstream of the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and it mediates the effects of several growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor, epidermal growth factor and insulin growth factor. It is activated by phosphorylation on Ser-473, Thr-308 and Tyr-474 and when active it phosphorylates transcription factors (FOXO1), kinases (GSK-3, Raf-1, ASK, Chk1) and other signaling proteins (Bad, MDM2). There are three Akt isoforms (Akt1, Akt2 and Akt3) which share 80% sequence identity also known as PKBα, PKBβ and PKBγ. Akt has been shown to have a role in metabolism, apoptosis and proliferation and therefore it has been proposed to be the candidate “Warburg Kinase”.

  • Function

    IGF-1 leads to the activation of AKT3, which may play a role in regulating cell survival. Capable of phosphorylating several known proteins. Truncated isoform 2/PKB gamma 1 without the second serine phosphorylation site could still be stimulated but to a lesser extent.
  • Tissue specificity

    In adult tissues, it is highly expressed in brain, lung and kidney, but weakly in heart, testis and liver. In fetal tissues, it is highly expressed in heart, liver and brain and not at all in kidney.
  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAC subfamily.
    Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.
    Contains 1 PH domain.
    Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
  • Domain

    Binding of the PH domain to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase alpha (PI(3)K) results in its targeting to the plasma membrane.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylation on Thr-305 and Ser-472 is required for full activity (By similarity). Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.
    Ubiquitinated. When fully phosphorylated and translocated into the nucleus, undergoes 'Lys-48'-polyubiquitination catalyzed by TTC3, leading to its degradation by the proteasome.
  • Cellular localization

    Cytoplasm. Membrane. Membrane-associated after cell stimulation leading to its translocation.

    Question

    I am working with adherent hepatocyotes and am worried that the protocol calls for using Trypsin for detaching cells as I fear this may cause phosphorylatioon changes. Have you used this kit with hepatocytes and/or do you have information about whether the phosphorylation status is maintained?

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting us.
    We didn’t test this kit with primary hepatocytes.

    In our experiments we didn’t see dephosphorylation of AKT on NIH3T3 cells treated with PDGF and harvested with trypsin. The key is to do a short term trypsin treatment to dislodge the cells from the culture plate and dilute the harvested cells on the media used for treatment. Extensive washes of the media in the absence of phosphatase inhibitors will likely lead to dephosphorylation.

    To decrease the time required with trypsin to generate a single cell suspension, we advise to passage the cell line the day before the experiment onto a fresh culture plate.

    Thank you for your reply.

    To further investigate this issue, could you please send me the original order details for ab126580, AKT total + Phospho S473 FLOW Kit,as according order history of this product, we have not sold any of these kits yet.

    Looking forward to your reply and helping you determine what the issues with your cells are.

    Question

    After step 8.1 of the protocol, the cells do not pellet, but form a sheet on top of the solution that will not disperse or pellet with further centrifugation. Does any special tubes need to be used with this kit?

    Asked on Mar 21 2012

    Answer

    Thank you for contacting Abcam.
    I just want to make sure that I wrote the catalogue number down correctly, as we have not sold any ab126580 kits yet.
    I’m not sure why the cells are not pelleting after methanol. I don’t think the tube has anything to do with it. Cells should be able to centrifuge in any microfuge tube.
    The only thing that occurs to me is that you may not have started with a single cell suspension and what they have is a clump of cells or even more likely the cells are lysed and what they see on top is only debris. During sample preparation for flow cytometry it is extremely important to be very gentle with the cells from harvesting to running through the instrument. No vortexing, no squirting with the pipette and all volumes should be layered gently on top of the cells and cells should be resuspended very gently.
    Maybe the flow cytometry guide which is attached would have more tips on sample preparation.
    Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with.
