PRAS40 Polyclonal antibody

PRAS40 (40 kDa proline-rich AKT substrate) is also named as AKT1S1 (Proline-rich AKT1 substrate 1). PRAS40 is a substrate of Akt and a component of the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) (PMID: 28978182). Locating at the crossroad of the PI3K/Akt pathway and the mTOR pathway, PRAS40 is phosphorylated by growth factors or other stimuli, and regulates the activation of these signaling pathways in turn (PMID: 28978182). PRAS40 is expressed in a variety of tissues in vivo and has multiple phosphorylation sites, which its activity is closely related to phosphorylation. Studies have shown that PRAS40 is involved in regulating cell growth, cell apoptosis, oxidative stress, autophagy and angiogenesis, as well as various of signalling pathways such as mammalian target of mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR), protein kinase B (PKB/Akt), nuclear factor kappa-B(NF-κB) proto-oncogene serine/threonine-protein kinase PIM-1(PIM1) and pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) (PMID: 33504218).
