Rabbit anti-Rictor Antibody Affinity Purified
Product Details
Specifications
The epitope recognized by A300-459A maps to a region between residue 1650 and the C-terminus (residue 1708) of human Rapamycin-Insensitive Companion of mTOR using the numbering given in TrEMBL entry Q6R327 (GeneID 253260).
Immunoglobulin concentration was determined using Beer’s Law where 1mg/mL IgG has an A280 of 1.4. Antibody was affinity purified using an epitope specific to Rictor immobilized on solid support.
The epitope recognized by A300-459A-T maps to a region between residue 1650 and the C-terminus (residue 1708) of human Rapamycin-Insensitive Companion of mTOR using the numbering given in TrEMBL entry Q6R327 (GeneID 253260).
Additional Product Information
Rictor is a subunit of mTORC2, which regulates cell growth and survival in response to hormonal signals. mTORC2 is activated by growth factors, but, in contrast to mTORC1, seems to be nutrient-insensitive. mTORC2 seems to function upstream of Rho GTPases to regulate the actin cytoskeleton, probably by activating one or more Rho-type guanine nucleotide exchange factors. mTORC2 promotes the serum-induced formation of stress-fibers or F-actin. mTORC2 plays a critical role in AKT1 'Ser-473' phosphorylation, which may facilitate the phosphorylation of the activation loop of AKT1 on 'Thr-308' by PDK1 which is a prerequisite for full activation. mTORC2 regulates the phosphorylation of SGK1 at 'Ser-422'. mTORC2 also modulates the phosphorylation of PRKCA on 'Ser-657'. Plays an essential role in embryonic growth and development [taken from the Universal Protein Resource (UniProt) www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q6R327].

Applications
All western blot analysis is performed using 5% Milk-TBST for blocking and as antibody diluent. Primary antibody is incubated overnight.
Western blots of cell lysates are performed using Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Heavy and Light Chain Antibody (A120-101P).
Western blots of immunoprecipitates are performed using an anti-Rabbit IgG Light Chain HRP-conjugated antibody with 5% Normal Pig Serum (Cat. No. S100-020) added to the blocking buffer.
