Anti-AKT2 antibodies are used in the immunodetection of the protein AKT serine/threonine kinase 2. In humans, the canonical protein has a reported length of 481 amino acid residues and a mass of 55.8 kDa. Its subcellular localization is in the cell membrane, nucleus, and cytoplasm. Up to 2 different isoforms have been reported for this protein. It is reported to be expressed in all cell types so far analyzed. A member of the AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase protein family, AKT2 is known to be involved with GTPase activation and insulin signaling pathways. Synonyms for this target antigen include PKBB, PKBBETA, PRKBB, RAC-BETA, RAC-beta serine/threonine-protein kinase, PKB beta, RAC-PK-beta, and HIHGHH. AKT2 gene orthologs have been reported in the mouse, rat, bovine, frog, zebrafish and chicken species. Over 10000 citations in the literature describe the use of AKT2 antibodies in research. Western Blot is a widely used application for these antibodies. Immunofluorescence and Immunohistochemistry are also common applications.
