| Description |
The CASE™ Kit for AKT is designed to analyze AKT phosphorylation in cultured human and mouse cell lines. This cell-based ELISA kit quantifies the amount of activated (phosphorylated) AKT protein relative to total AKT protein. The AKT phosphorylation site is serine 473. By determining AKT protein phosphorylation in your experimental model system, you can verify AKT pathway activation in your cell line and determine the effect of various treatments, inhibitors, or activators on the pathway.

More information on AKT protein from NCBI:
"The protein ... is a member of the AKT, also called PKB, serine/threonine protein kinase family. AKT kinases are known to be regulators of cell signaling in response to insulin and growth factors. They are involved in a wide variety of biological processes including cell proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis, tumorigenesis, as well as glycogen synthesis and glucose uptake. This kinase has been shown to be stimulated by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1)."

¹ Each antibody stock must be freshly diluted by the
appropriate factor into Antibody Dilution Buffer on the same day of
the experiment. See the CASE™ Kit User Manual for more details.
² 10X Washing Buffer and 10X Antigen Retrieval Buffer must be
diluted to 1X with dH2O before use.
³ Just before use, dissolve powder in 30 ml 1X Washing Buffer by
mixing well. Once dissolved, Blocking Buffer may be stored at 4 ºC
for up to two (2) weeks.
