Background Information
AKT, also known as protein kinase B, is a serine/threonine kinase that anchors a number of signaling pathways involved in regulating cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, mobility, and apoptosis. It is activated through phosphorylation at two sites (Ser473 and Thr308) by PDK1, which itself is rendered functionally active after begins phosphorylated at the Ser241 residue. Alternatively, AKT activity can be inhibited by PTEN which dephosphorylates PIP3, thereby preventing the activation of PDK1. However, phosphorylation of PTEN at Thr382/383 results in a loss of its phosphatase activity and tumor suppressor function. This can allow for increased AKT pathway activation in several different cancer types.
