Product Information
Product Usage Information
Cells are lysed in a urea-containing buffer, cellular proteins are digested by proteases, and the resulting peptides are purified by reversed-phase, solid-phase extraction. Peptides are then subjected to immunoaffinity purification using a PTMScan® Motif antibody conjugated to protein A agarose beads. Unbound peptides are removed through washing, and the captured PTM-containing peptides are eluted with dilute acid. Reversed-phase purification is performed on microtips to desalt and separate peptides from antibody prior to concentrating the enriched peptides for LC-MS/MS analysis. CST recommends the use of PTMScan® IAP Buffer #9993 included in the kit.

Product Description
Background
Akt plays a central role in mediating critical cellular responses including cell growth and survival, angiogenesis, and transcriptional regulation (2-4). It is a member of an important class of kinases, referred to as Arg-directed kinases or AGC-family kinases, which includes cAMP-dependent protein kinase (PKA), cGMP-dependent protein kinase (PKG), protein kinase C, Akt, p70S6 kinase, and RSK. These kinases share a substrate specificity characterized by Arg at position -3 relative to the phosphorylated Ser or Thr (5,6). Akt, p70 S6 kinase, and RSK additionally share specificity for Arg at position -5 (recognition sequence RXRXXS/T) (7) In a recent phosphoproteomic study (8) co-authored by scientists in the CST Site DiscoveryGroup over 300 downstream substrates for AGC family kinases recognizing the RXRXXS/T motif were identified with PhosphoScan Technology using Phospho-Akt substrate antibodies. These CST™ antibodies are powerful tools for investigating the regulation of phosphorylation by Akt and other Arg-directed kinases, as well as for high throughput kinase drug discovery.In this assay, PTMScan® (RXRXXS
