Protein kinase B (PKB) also known as AKT1 AKT2 and AKT3 encode the RAC alpha, beta, and gamma serine/threonine protein kinases respectively. AKT1 is involved in cellular survival pathways, by inhibiting apoptotic process. It is also able to induce protein synthesis pathways, and is therefore a key signaling protein in the cellular pathways that lead to skeletal muscle hypertrophy and general tissue growth. Akt2 is an important signaling molecule in the insulin signaling pathway. AKT3 appears to be predominantly expressed in the brain.

The AlphaLISA SureFire Ultra Human and Mouse Phospho-AKT 1/2/3 (Thr450) Detection Kit is a sandwich immunoassay for the quantitative detection of phospho-AKT 1/2/3 (Thr450) in cellular lysates, using Alpha Technology.
