Gene Information

human ... AKT1(207)

Application

Can be used in kinase activity assays, which measure the molar amount of phosphate incorporated into the Akt/SGK substrate peptide (RPRAATF) per minute per mg protein at 30 °C using a final concentration of 50 μM [32P]-ATP.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Akt1 is an isoform of multifunctional Akt kinase, which upon activation becomes involved in glucose metabolism, transcription, survival, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cell motility and a number of metabolic effects of insulin.

Other Notes

GST-tagged human recombinant full length Akt1

Unit Definition

One unit will incorporate 1 nanomole of phosphate into the AKT/SGK substrate peptide (RPRAATF) per minute at pH 7.2 at 30 deg C using a final concentration of 50 μm.

Physical form

Supplied as a solution at 0.1 mg/ml in 50 mM Tris-HCl, pH 7.5, 150 mM NaCl, 0.25 mM DTT, 0.1 mM EGTA, 0.1 mM EDTA, 0.1 mM PMSF and 25% glycerol.

White adipose tissue has now been recognized as an important endocrine organ secreting bioactive molecules termed adipocytokines. In obesity, anti-inflammatory adipocytokines like adiponectin are decreased while pro-inflammatory factors are over-produced. These changes contribute to the development of insulin resistance and
