描述：

非磷酸化AkT细胞提取物：在经过血清饥饿过夜并用50 µM LY294002 (CST #9901)处理1小时，从Jurkat细胞得到的总提取物，用于阴性对照。产品储存于SDS缓冲液中。磷酸化AkT细胞提取物：在经过血清饥饿过夜并用Calyculin A (CST #9902))处理以保持Akt的激活状态，从Jurkat细胞得到的总提取物，用于阳性对照。产品储存于SDS缓冲液中。Western Blots: 作为对照，CST建议应用20 µl磷酸化和非磷酸化的Akt提取物作为对照。在使用前先煮沸3分钟。Akt，又被称为PKB 或 Rac，在细胞的生长和凋亡中起到关键作用(1-3)。该蛋白激酶可以被胰岛素和多种生长和存活因子激活，在涉及PI3K激酶的wortmannin敏感信号通路中发挥作用（2,3）。Akt可由磷脂结合激活，该过程通过活化环中的Thr308位点以及羧基端Ser473位点的磷酸化完成，其中Thr308的磷酸化由PDK1完成(4)。 之前推测PDK2在Ser473位点磷酸化Akt，后被证实为哺乳动物rapamycin靶蛋白mTOR 的作用， 它存在在一个含有rictor和Sin1 的rapamycin非敏感复合体中。 Akt促进细胞的生长通过抑制细胞的凋亡 ，例如Akt可以抑制下游靶蛋白Bad (7), forkhead 转录因子 (8), c-Raf (9), and caspase-9。PTEN是PI3K/Akt信号通路的主要负调控因子(10)。 LY294002是特异性的 PI3K 激酶抑制剂(11)。Akt 的另外一个主要功能是通过磷酸化并进而抑制GSK-3α 和 β来调控糖原的合成(12,13)。 Akt 也可以调控胰岛素诱导的葡萄糖转运 (12)。除此之外，Akt还可以调控细胞周期，这个功能通过抑制GSK-3β，从而调控其下游的Cyclin D1 的磷酸化和降解 (14)，或者负向调控cyclin依赖的激酶抑制因子 p27 Kip (15) 和 p21 Waf1/CIP1 (16)来实现。 Akt 也可以通过直接磷酸化含有raptor的rapamycin敏感复合体中的mTOR来调控细胞的生长(17)。 更重要的是， Akt磷酸化并失活TSC2， 而TCS2是mTOR-raptor复合物中mTOR的抑制因子(18,19)。

Western Blots: As controls, CST recommends using 20 µl of phosphorylated and nonphosphorylated Akt extracts as controls. Boil for 3 minutes prior to use.

Background

Akt, also referred to as PKB or Rac, plays a critical role in controlling survival and apoptosis (1-3). This protein kinase is activated by insulin and various growth and survival factors to function in a wortmannin-sensitive pathway involving PI3 kinase (2,3). Akt is activated by phospholipid binding and activation loop phosphorylation at Thr308 by PDK1 (4) and by phosphorylation within the carboxy terminus at Ser473. The previously elusive PDK2 responsible for phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 has been identified as mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in a rapamycin-insensitive complex with rictor and Sin1 (5,6). Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of several targets, including Bad (7), forkhead transcription factors (8), c-Raf (9), and caspase-9. PTEN phosphatase is a major negative regulator of the PI3 kinase/Akt signaling pathway (10). LY294002 is a specific PI3 kinase inhibitor (11). Another essential Akt function is the regulation of glycogen synthesis through phosphorylation and inactivation of GSK-3α and β (12,13). Akt may also play a role in insulin stimulation of glucose transport (12). In addition to its role in survival and glycogen synthesis, Akt is involved in cell cycle regulation by preventing GSK-3β-mediated phosphorylation and degradation of cyclin D1 (14) and by negatively regulating the cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors p27 Kip (15) and p21 Waf1/CIP1 (16). Akt also plays a critical role in cell growth by directly phosphorylating mTOR in a rapamycin-sensitive complex containing raptor (17). More importantly, Akt phosphorylates and inactivates tuberin (TSC2), an inhibitor of mTOR within the mTOR-raptor complex (18,19).
