Application

SC79 has been used in western blot analysis as a positive control to measure the extent of phosphorylation of Akt and also to activate Akt that has been suppressed by nitidine chloride, a natural bioactive alkaloid.

Biochem/physiol Actions

SC79 is an AKT activator. SC79 binds to the plecktrin homology (PH) domain of Akt that mimics the binding of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 to induce a conformational change in Akt that enhances phosphorylation and activation. SC79 induces cytosolic Akt signaling in cell based assays, and prevents neuronal death in a mouse model of stroke.
