Phospho akt

Manufactured by Thermo Fisher Scientific
Sourced in United Kingdom

Phospho-Akt is a laboratory reagent used to detect and quantify the phosphorylated form of the Akt (Protein Kinase B) protein. Akt is a key regulator of cellular processes such as metabolism, cell growth, and survival. The phosphorylated form of Akt is an important marker for the activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which is involved in various biological and pathological processes. Phospho-Akt can be used in a variety of analytical techniques, including Western blotting, ELISA, and immunohistochemistry, to study the activation of the Akt signaling pathway in biological samples.

The procedure of Western blot analysis was descried as previously [10 (link), 13 (link)]. In brief, the equal amounts (50 μg/lane) were extracted from the calf muscle tissue or HUVEC and separated by SDS-PAGE using 10~15% acrylamide gradients. The membranes were incubated with antibodies against Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), Phospho-PI3K (1:1000; Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), AKT, Phospho-AKT (1:1000, Invitrogen, Thermo Fisher Scientific, MA, USA), STAT3 (1:1000; Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA), Phospho-STAT3(Tyr705) (1:1000; Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), Matrix metallopeptidase 9 (MMP9) (1:1000, Arigo Biolaboratories, Taiwan), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) (1:1000, Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA), VEGFR2 (1:1000) and Phospho-VEGFR2 (1:5000 Abcam, Cambridge, MA, USA). Signals were detected with HRP-conjugated goat anti-mouse or goat anti-rabbit IgG (Jackson Immuno Research Laboratories Inc., West Grove, PA, USA). Immunoreactive bands were detected by enhanced chemiluminescence (ECL; Thermo Fisher Scientific, CA, USA) and then were exposed to ECL-Western blotting system (AVEGENE CHEMX 400). The intensity of the protein band was quantified by Image J software (Bethesda, NIH, MD, USA) and the results are expressed as normalized ratio to housekeeping gene GAPDH.

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.
