Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse brain tissue using AKT1 Antibody. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) for 8 minutes. The tissues were blocked in QuickBlock for 20 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody at 1/100 dilution in 4℃ overnight. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Immunocytochemistry analysis of MCF-7 cells labeling AKT1 with AKT1 Antibody (HY-P80008) at 1/50 dilution. Cells were fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for 15 minutes at room temperature, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton X-100 for 10 minutes at room temperature, then blocked with QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining for 10 min at room temperature. Cells were then incubated with AKT1 Antibody (HY-P80008)at 1/50 dilution in QuickBlock™ Blocking Buffer for Immunol Staining at 4 ℃. Alexa Fluor® 488-conjugated AffiniPure Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L(HY-P8002,Green) was used as the secondary antibody at 1/1,000 dilution. PBS instead of the primary antibody was used as the secondary antibody only control. The Nuclear counterstain was DAPI (Blue).

Background

Function
AKT1 (protein kinase Bα, PKBα) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as a central effector of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, regulating cellular growth, survival, metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation across multiple tissues and cell types[1][2][3]. Activation of AKT1 occurs downstream of PI3K through phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) -mediated phosphorylation, enabling downstream regulation of targets involved in protein synthesis, apoptosis control, and metabolic adaptation[4][5]. Mechanistically, AKT1 contributes to angiogenesis, physiological tissue growth, immune-cell function, and stress-response signaling, making it a critical node in both normal physiology and disease-associated signaling networks[2][4][5]. In disease models, dysregulated AKT signaling is strongly associated with cancer, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular pathology, and inflammatory conditions, and constitutive activation of AKT-dependent pathways promotes oncogenic progression and therapeutic resistance[2][6][7]. Compared with related isoforms, AKT1 exhibits distinct biological functions despite substantial structural homology with AKT2 and AKT3; genetic studies demonstrate that AKT1 deficiency primarily causes growth retardation, whereas AKT2 deficiency induces insulin resistance and diabetes, and AKT3 loss predominantly affects brain development[4][5]. Isoform-specific investigations further show that AKT1 and AKT2 can exert non-redundant or even opposing effects on migration, invasion, inflammation, and fibrogenesis depending on cellular context[2][6][8]. For experimental applications, increasing efforts focus on developing AKT1-selective inhibitors and isoform-selective cellular models, which provide valuable tools for dissecting AKT isoform-specific signaling and for evaluating targeted therapeutic strategies with improved selectivity profiles[6][7][9].

Expression
Tissue_specificity:This protein is expressed in prostate cancer, and its expression level gradually increases from normal to malignant (protein level) . It is expressed in all human cell types analyzed to date. The phosphorylated form of Tyr-176 is significantly increased in the progressive stages of breast cancer (i.e., from normal to hyperplastic (ADH) , ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) , invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) , and lymph node metastasis (LNMM) stages) . -
