Immunofluorescent analysis of AKT2 (green) showing staining in the cytoplasm and nucleus of MCF-7 cells (right) compared to a negative control without primary antibody (left). Formalin-fixed cells were permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 in TBS for 5-10 minutes and blocked with 3% BSA-PBS for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were probed with an AKT2 monoclonal antibody (ab175354) in 3% BSA-PBS at a dilution of 1 : 20 and incubated overnight at 4 °C in a humidified chamber. Cells were washed with PBST and incubated with a DyLight-conjugated secondary antibody in PBS at room temperature in the dark. F-actin (red) was stained with a fluorescent red phalloidin and nuclei (blue) were stained with Hoechst or DAPI. Images were taken at a magnification of 60x.

ChIP - Anti-AKT2 antibody [4H7] (AB175354)
Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis of Akt1 and Akt2 was performed using cross-linked chromatin from 1 x 106 HCT116 colon carcinoma cells treated with serum for 0, 15, 30, and 60 minutes. Immunoprecipitation was performed with 1.0ul/100ul well volume of an Atk1 monoclonal antibody and an Akt2 monoclonal antibody (ab175354). Chromatin aliquots from ~1 x 105 cells were used per ChIP pull-down. Quantitative PCR data were done in quadruplicate using 1ul of eluted DNA in 2ul SYBR real-time PCR reactions containing primers to amplify -15kb upstream of the Egr1 gene or exon-1 of Egr1. PCR calibration curves were generated for each primer pair from a dilution series of sheared total genomic DNA. Quantitation of immunoprecipitated chromatin is presented as signal relative to the total amount of input chromatin. Results represent the mean +/- SEM for three experiments. A schematic representation of the Egr-1 locus is shown above the data where boxes represent exons (black boxes = translated regions, white boxes = untranslated regions); the zigzag line represents an intron; and the straight line represents upstream sequence. Regions amplified by Egr-1 primers are represented by black bars.

Biological function summary
The protein engages in controlling glucose transport and metabolism. As part of its biological functions AKT2 becomes phosphorylated and activated in response to insulin signaling and does not work as a part of a larger complex but interacts with other proteins. It plays a significant role in maintaining normal insulin sensitivity in tissues by facilitating the uptake and storage of glucose. Additionally the protein influences cell cycle progression and can affect apoptotic responses contributing to processes like protein synthesis and cell proliferation.
Pathways
AKT2 involves signaling mechanisms that include the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway and the insulin signaling pathway. These pathways are deeply connected to cellular growth and metabolic regulation. AKT2 works closely with proteins such as PI3K which phosphorylates phosphoinositides and mTOR that control protein synthesis by activating downstream targets. These interactions highlight the integration of AKT2 in nutrient-sensing pathways and how it aids the regulation of energy status in response to external stimuli.
