Since its initial discovery as a proto-oncogene, the serine/threonine kinase Akt (also known as protein kinase B or PKB) has become a major focus of attention because of its critical regulatory role in diverse cellular processes, including cancer progression and insulin metabolism. These findings make Akt/PKB an important therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, diabetes, laminopathies, stroke, and neurodegenerative disease.

Summary

The Good

Specificity. Non-phosphorylated protein is not detected.

The Bad

Any remarkable.

The Bottom Line
