Recombinant anti-Akt Nanobody, Clone # Nb10, COOH-terminal HA tag.Type: VHH single domainSource: E. coliApplications: ELISA, Immunoprecipitation, Pull downClonality: Monoclonal
Background: Pan-Akt VHH Antibody was produced in a llama with a recombinant full length Akt then cloned for recombinant production in E. coli cells. Akt kinases are three highly homologous (Akt 1, 2, 3) isoforms of serine/threonine kinases. Akt, also known as protein kinase b (PKB) is frequently over-activated in cancer and considered as a therapeutic target. However, most small molecule inhibitors lack sufficient specificity and to date there are no effective isoform-specific inhibitors available.
Recombinant anti-Akt Nanobody 10 was developed by Gulliver Biomed.
