SureQuant™ AKT Isoform Relative Quantitation Module

The Thermo Scientific SureQuant AKT Isoform Relative Quantitation Module provides a complete quantitation solution for the analysis of key AKT expression using mass spectrometry (MS).

SureQuant AKT Isoform Relative Quantitation Module features include:
• Complete—contains validated AQUA HeavyPeptide mix, diluent, matrix, system suitability standard including optimized acquisition and analysis methods
• Validated—peptides rigorously tested for successful quantitation of each target peptide
• Multiplex—able to quantitate AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3 isoforms and phosphorylation of AKT

The AKT signaling pathway serves as a master regulatory pathway for cell growth and proliferation, and AKT plays a vital role in the signaling cascade. Aberrant activation of this pathway promotes survival of tumor cells in many types of cancer. This kit is ideal for monitoring AKT expression levels of the three isoforms and phosphorylation status in a single assay. The ability to simultaneously monitor and quantitate in a single sample is a powerful tool for assessment of normal and abnormal pathway signaling.

The SureQuant AKT Isoform Relative Quantitation Module provides reagents for relative quantitation of six unique peptides from AKT using liquid chromatography (LC) and MS. AQUA Ultimate HeavyPeptide mixture is provided for use as a spike-in internal standard for relative quantitation in the multiplexed sample. Standardized methods and data process templates are provided for streamlined data acquisition and analysis.

The Pierce LC-MS/MS System Suitability Standard (7 x 5 Mix) is included in this module to assess dynamic range of LC-MS/MS systems before running the calibration curves and samples.

This kit can be used with SureQuant AKT Isoform IP and MS Sample Preparation Module for enriched multiplex sample preparation. When used together, these modules provide a complete solution for sample preparation and analysis of the target proteins.
