Akt1, also known as PKB alpha , is a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to the Akt family. Akt1 is activated in cells in response to diverse stimuli such as hormones, growth factors and extracellular matrix components and is involved in glucose metabolism, transcription, survival, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and cell motility (1). Akt1 is frequently over-expressed and active in many types of human cancers including cancers of colon, breast, brain, pancreas, and prostate as well as lymphomas and leukemias (2).

Altered expression of BCL2 in cancer Similar to other cell processes, the balance between cell survival and cell death is an important equilibrium that when altered expression of genes can lead to a variety of disease. For example, too little cell death can promote cell overgrowth a... Read full blog post. |
AKT1 - Regulating cell growth and survival through phosphorylation AKT1 is a serine/threonine protein kinase with homology to protein kinase A (PKA) and protein kinase C (PKC). AKT1 contains the central kinase domain sandwiched between a pleckstrin homology domain and a regulatory domain (1). AKT1 is regulated by ... Read full blog post. |
Akt1 - a central player in cell survival signaling Akt1 is one of three isoforms of Akt belonging to the AGC family of serine/threonine kinases (Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3). All Akt isoforms contain an N-terminal Plekstrin Homology (PH) domain, a C-terminal regulatory domain, and a central catalytic kin... Read full blog post. |
AKT1, Scene 1: The Cell Must Go On Akt1 is a serine/threonine-specific protein kinase involved in many cellular signaling pathways.
