Invitrogen™ Phospho-PRAS40 (Thr246) Polyclonal Antibody

Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Supplier:  Invitrogen™ 441100G

Catalog No. 44-110-0G

Description

The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated PRAS40. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using a PRAS40-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at threonine 246. The antibody has been used in western blotting with NIH3T3 cells +/- PDGF, as positive control. Previous lots of this antibody have been used in immunocytochemistry and immunohistochemistry. Other applications may work but have not been tested.

The Akt signaling pathway contributes to the regulation of apoptosis after a variety of cell death signals. AKT1S1, also known as PRAS40, is a proline-rich substrate of the kinase AKT1 and is thought to play a role in neuroprotection mediated by nerve growth factor (NGF) after transient focal cerebral ischemia. AKT1S1 is also a substrate and potential regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth and cell cycle, and a negative regulator of autophagy. Treatment with the insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) can induce the phosphorylation of AKT1S1 via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in PC12 cells.
