Fig. 2. Tissue distribution of PKB
and levels of PKB
and PKBß in
Pkb
mutant mice. (A) The mRNA level of PKB
was
determined in 15 different organs from adult Pkb
+/+
mice. Total RNA was isolated from three adult mice and the levels were
normalized to the level of PKB
in the brain (100%). MG, mammary gland.
Error bars represent s.d. mRNA levels of (B) PKB
and (C) PKBß were
determined using total RNA from six different organs of adult
Pkb
wild-type (n=3; black bars) and mutant mice
(n=3; white bars). mRNA levels of PKB
and PKBß were
normalized to the level of PKB
in wild-type brain (100%). Error bars
represent s.d. (D) Western blot analysis of PKB
, ß and
within ten different brain regions using isoform specific antibodies.
