AKT1S1 Antibody / PRAS40

Overview

AKT1S1 antibody supplied as a purified reagent for WB in Human, Mouse samples. This product is a monoclonal (mouse origin) antibody (host: Mouse; isotype: Mouse IgG1, kappa) intended for research use only.

Key elements and design rationale

• Antibody identity: Monoclonal (mouse origin); host Mouse; isotype Mouse IgG1, kappa; clone 1997CT730.74.73.
• Format and purification: format: Purified; purity: Purified.
• Species reactivity (reported): Human, Mouse.
• Applications (listed): WB.
• Immunogen / epitope context: Purified His-tagged protein fragment was used to produced this monoclonal AKT1S1 antibody..

These attributes help you align the antibody with the biological question (target state, sample type, and readout) while keeping interpretation grounded in appropriate controls.

Biological background

AKT1S1 is the intended antigen for this primary antibody. Reported biological context includes: AKT1S1 is a proline-rich substrate of AKT that binds 14-3-3 protein when phosphorylated. [supplied by OMIM].

Research relevance and current trends

• Post-translational modification mapping: phosphorylation-site–resolved antibodies are used to connect signaling inputs to target activation states and downstream readouts.
• Spatial and single-cell approaches: imaging-based and cytometry workflows increasingly quantify heterogeneity and relocalization rather than only bulk abundance.
• Interaction-centric biology: IP-based enrichment and proteomics are widely used to define complexes, binding partners, and context-specific interactomes.

Common research applications

• Western blot (WB): compare relative abundance/isoform patterns across conditions and sample types; band shifts may reflect processing or post-translational modification.

Across these readouts, differences in signal intensity, localization, or complex enrichment are typically interpreted alongside sample-matched controls and independent evidence to distinguish regulation from technical variation.

Notes for experimental interpretation

• Isoforms, cleavage products, or post-translational modifications can alter apparent molecular weight and subcellular distribution; interpret bands and staining patterns in the context of expected biology and sample preparation.
• Species differences and epitope conservation may affect binding; use matched positive controls and orthogonal evidence when comparing across organisms.
• Control concepts: include appropriate isotype and secondary-only controls (for imaging), and consider genetic perturbations (knockout/knockdown/overexpression) or independent antibodies targeting distinct epitopes to strengthen conclusions.

Epitope context is defined by the immunogen description; when available, align this with known domains, PTM sites, or family homology to anticipate potential cross-reactivity patterns. As a monoclonal antibody, binding is driven by a single epitope, which can support consistent recognition but may be sensitive to epitope masking by PTMs or conformational changes.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
