Akt is a three-member family of serine-threonine protein kinases consisting of Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3. This family of kinases is activated downstream of PI 3-Kinase (PI 3-K)-dependent phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5)-triphosphate (PIP3) formation at the plasma membrane. Conversely, Akt activation is negatively regulated by the lipid phosphatase PTEN, which dephosphorylates PIP3. Due to its role in the promotion of protein synthesis, cell survival, and proliferation the Akt pathway can promote tumorigenesis. Accordingly, components of the Akt pathway are frequently altered in many human cancers. Akt is also known to suppress autophagy, which can either promote or inhibit cancer cell death in a context-dependent manner. Akt defi ciency is associated with the development of diabetes in mice and humans, suggesting that cell signaling pathways downstream of Akt are also important for proper regulation of metabolism. The dysregulation or loss of Akt signaling in multiple diseases highlights the need for more research and a better understanding of this pathway and its regulation. R&D Systems offers a wide range of proteins, antibodies, ELISAs, and multianalyte profi ling kits for studying PI 3-K/Akt signaling. A range of small molecule activators and inhibitors are also available from Tocris Bioscience. Explore our interactive Akt signaling pathway to fi nd what you need!
