Akt
PKB; Protein kinase B
Akt/PKB (Protein kinase B), a serine/threonine protein kinase with antiapoptotic activity, is one of the major downstream targets of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 signaling pathway. It contains a pleckstrin homology domain (PH domain) that specifically binds PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 on the plasma membrane. Akt phosphorylation and activation are directly determined by the level of PtdIns(3,4,5)P3 on the plasma membrane, which is regulated by PI3K.
Akt consists of three isoforms: PKBα/Akt1, PKBβ/Akt2 and PKBγ/Akt3. Akt isoforms have an N-terminal PH (pleckstrin homology) domain and a kinase domain, which are separated by a 39-amino-acid hinge region. Catalytically active Akt regulates the function of numerous substrates involved in cell survival, growth, proliferation, metabolism and protein synthesis.
Akt is a crucial mediator of cell survival and its deactivation is implicated in various stress-induced pathological cell death and degenerative diseases.

Wighteone
0 ImagesSynonyms: 6-Isopentenylgenistein; Erythrinin BWighteone (6-Isopentenylgenistein; Erythrinin B) is a prenylated isoflavone that acts as a HSP90/EGFRL858R/T790M inhibitor and antifungal agent. Wighteone reduces the expression level of HSP90, blocks EGF-induced phosphorylation of EGFR, and thereby inhibits the downstream ERK and AKT signaling pathways. Wighteone induces cell cycle redistribution, inhibits proliferation and triggers apoptosis in cancer cells. Wighteone can be isolated from Erythrina suberosa, and can also be induced to synthesize in Lotus japonicus under specific conditions. Wighteone can be used to study HER2-positive breast cancer, leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer with EGFRL858R/T790M mutation, and fungal infections.
