The Recombinant PRAS40 Monoclonal Antibody is a recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibody (clone C121499) against PRAS40. PRAS40 is a proline-rich protein with a molecular weight of 40 kDa that acts as a substrate for the serine / threonine kinase Akt. PRAS40 also binds mTOR to transduce Akt signals to the mTOR complex. Inhibition of mTOR signaling stimulates PRAS40 binding to mTOR, which in turn inhibits mTOR activity. Produced by recombinant technology in Rabbit hosts and purified by Protein A affinity chromatography, this Rabbit IgG antibody is reactive against Human, Mouse and Rat samples.
This antibody is suitable for WB and IHC applications. It has been validated by WB analysis of MCF-7, HeLa, PC-12 and IHC analysis of Human breast cancer, Mouse liver, Rat cardiac muscle. The target is localized to the cytoplasm.
