Function

Negative regulator of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), an evolutionarily conserved central nutrient sensor that stimulates anabolic reactions and macromolecule biosynthesis to promote cellular biomass generation and growth (By similarity). In absence of insulin and nutrients, AKT1S1 associates with the mTORC1 complex and directly inhibits mTORC1 activity by blocking the MTOR substrate-recruitment site (By similarity). In response to insulin and nutrients, AKT1S1 dissociates from mTORC1 (By similarity). Its activity is dependent on its phosphorylation state and binding to 14-3-3 (By similarity). May also play a role in nerve growth factor-mediated neuroprotection (PubMed:14973226, PubMed:16397181).

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type. Please note that the range provided for this antibody is only an estimation based on the performance of the product using the recommended antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody in your assay.

Activity summary

PRAS40 also known as Proline-Rich AKT1 Substrate 40 kDa is a protein that serves a mechanical function as a binding partner within the mTOR complex. This protein with a molecular mass of approximately 40 kDa works within cellular environments to regulate various kinases. PRAS40 expresses ubiquitously but shows significant activity within tissues that have high metabolic roles such as muscle and fat. Its interaction with the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex makes it an important component in cellular processes.

Biological function summary

PRAS40 acts as an inhibitory regulator in cellular growth and metabolism. PRAS40 is a part of the mTORC1 complex where it connects with other proteins to modulate the actions of mTOR a central regulator of cellular metabolism. By interacting with the mTORC1 complex PRAS40 can control protein synthesis and cell cycle progression. Furthermore PRAS40 responds to various cellular signals actively contributing to balancing growth factors and nutritional signals in cells.

Pathways

PRAS40 plays a significant role in the mTOR signaling pathway a critical pathway for cell growth and metabolism. PRAS40 regulation within this pathway involves the Akt protein which phosphorylates and modulates PRAS40 activity. Additionally PRAS40 has a connection to insulin signaling pathways where it impacts glucose uptake and energy homeostasis. Through interactions in these pathways PRAS40 balances cellular responses to growth factors and metabolic conditions.

Associated diseases and disorders

PRAS40 shows significant implications in cancer and diabetes. Abnormal regulation of PRAS40 has links to cancer progression due to its role in controlling cell growth via mTOR pathways. Dysregulation in PRAS40 function can enhance cell proliferation and contribute to oncogenesis. Likewise PRAS40 is relevant in diabetes especially through its role in insulin signaling. Imbalances here can disrupt glucose metabolism and exacerbate diabetic conditions. Interactions with proteins such as Akt highlight its potential role in managing these diseases.
