Description
Product Characteristics: AKT2 belonging to a subfamily of serine/threonine kinases containing SH2-like (Src homology 2-like) domains. The gene encoding AKT2 was shown to be amplified and overexpressed in 2 of 8 ovarian carcinoma cell lines and 2 of 15 primary ovarian tumors. Synonyms: Polyclonal AKT2 antibody, Anti-AKT2 antibody, v-akt murine thymoma viral oncogene homolog 2 antibody, PKBBETA antibody, PRKBB antibody, RAC-BETA antibody.
Target Information: This gene is a putative oncogene encoding a protein belonging to a subfamily of serine/threonine kinases containing SH2-like (Src homology 2-like) domains. The gene 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. The encoded protein is a general protein kinase capable of phophorylating several known proteins.
