Akt2 polyclonal antibody, anti-human, mouse, rat

Background:
AKT2 is a putative oncogene encoding a protein belonging to a subfamily of serine/threonine kinases containing SH2-like (Src homology 2-like) domains. AKT2 was shown to be amplified and overexpressed in 2 of 8 ovarian carcinoma cell lines and 2 of 15 primary ovarian tumors. Overexpression contributes to the malignant phenotype of a subset of human ductal pancreatic cancers. AKT serine/threonine kinase 2 is a general protein kinase capable of phophorylating several known proteins.

Research Area: Signal Transduction, Metabolism

Synonyms: AKT2, RAC-beta serine/threonine-protein kinase, Protein kinase Akt-2, Protein kinase B beta, PKB beta, RAC-PK-beta
