The AKT Multispecies In-Cell ELISA Colorimetric Detection Kit is a simple method for quantifying intracellular proteins in whole cells.
Principle of the method
To perform the assay, cells are first plated, treated and fixed. Expression of the protein(s) of interest is monitored in wells of a microplate using target-specific primary antibodies (see the Important Product Information section for antibodies included in each kit) and a horseradish peroxidase (HRP)-conjugated detection reagent. The kit is supplied with a whole-cell stain to control for differences in cell plating, which is important when measuring relative levels of a protein with different treatments or assessing its post-translational modification (PTM) form. After staining, the results are analyzed by normalizing the absorbance (HRP activity) values to cell number, which adjusts for the cell plating differences among the wells.
Rigorous validation
Each manufactured lot of this ELISA kit is quality tested for criteria such as sensitivity, specificity, precision, and lot-to-lot consistency. See manual for more information on validation.
AKT also known as protein kinase B (PKB) or RAS-alpha, is an ubiquitous serine/threonine kinase that plays an important role in diverse biological responses such as regulation of metabolism, cell survival and growth by phosphorylating multiple proteins. This protein kinase is activated by insulin, PI3K, IGF1 and various other growth and survival factors. Akt promotes cell survival by inhibiting apoptosis through phosphorylation and inactivation of several targets, including forkhead transcription factors, and caspase-9. The AKT pathway is a major target for cancer drug discovery.
