Phosphorylated akt p akt

Manufactured by Cell Signaling Technology
Sourced in United States, United Kingdom

Phosphorylated Akt (p-Akt) is a lab equipment product that detects the phosphorylated form of the protein Akt, also known as protein kinase B. Akt is a key regulator of cellular processes such as cell growth, proliferation, and survival. The phosphorylation of Akt is a critical step in the activation of this signaling pathway.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
