Product overview
AKT2 ELISA Kit (ab208986) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of AKT2 protein in cell culture extracts, cell culture supernatant, and tissue extracts. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate AKT2 with 5 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
- Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
- High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
- Fully validated in biological samples
- 96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells stripsA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (ab203359) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

Notes
AKT2 is one of 3 closely related serine/threonine-protein kinases (AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3) called the AKT kinases. These kinases regulate many processes including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth and angiogenesis. Specifically, AKT2 seems to be the principal isoform responsible for the regulation of glucose uptake. The AKT kinases mediate these processes through serine and/or threonine phosphorylation of a range of downstream substrates.
Human and rat AKT2 exhibit 98.1% and 98.5% amino acid identity to mouse AKT2, respectively.

Function
General protein kinase capable of phosphorylating several known proteins. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in all human cell types so far analyzed. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAC subfamily.
Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.
Contains 1 PH domain.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylation on Thr-309 and Ser-474 is required for full activity.
Ubiquitinated; undergoes both 'Lys-48'- and 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination. TRAF6-induced 'Lys-63'-linked AKT2 ubiquitination. When fully phosphorylated and translocated into the nucleus, undergoes 'Lys-48'-polyubiquitination catalyzed by TTC3, leading to its degradation by the proteasome. - Information by UniProt

SimpleStep ELISA technology allows the formation of the antibody-antigen complex in one single step, reducing assay time to 90 minutes. Add samples or standards and antibody mix to wells all at once, incubate, wash, and add your final substrate. See protocol for a detailed step-by-step guide.

The concentrations of AKT2 were measured in duplicates, interpolated from the AKT2 standard curve and corrected for sample dilution. Undiluted samples are as follows: cell culture 10%. The interpolated dilution factor corrected values are plotted (mean +/- SD, n=2). The mean AKT2 concentration was determined to be 1.3 ng/mL in RPMI base media.
