Background

Function
AKT1 (protein kinase Bα, PKBα) is a serine/threonine kinase that functions as a central effector of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway, regulating cellular growth, survival, metabolism, proliferation, and differentiation across multiple tissues and cell types[1][2][3]. Activation of AKT1 occurs downstream of PI3K through phosphoinositide-dependent kinase-1 (PDK1) -mediated phosphorylation, enabling downstream regulation of targets involved in protein synthesis, apoptosis control, and metabolic adaptation[4][5]. Mechanistically, AKT1 contributes to angiogenesis, physiological tissue growth, immune-cell function, and stress-response signaling, making it a critical node in both normal physiology and disease-associated signaling networks[2][4][5]. In disease models, dysregulated AKT signaling is strongly associated with cancer, metabolic disorders, cardiovascular pathology, and inflammatory conditions, and constitutive activation of AKT-dependent pathways promotes oncogenic progression and therapeutic resistance[2][6][7]. Compared with related isoforms, AKT1 exhibits distinct biological functions despite substantial structural homology with AKT2 and AKT3; genetic studies demonstrate that AKT1 deficiency primarily causes growth retardation, whereas AKT2 deficiency induces insulin resistance and diabetes, and AKT3 loss predominantly affects brain development[4][5]. Isoform-specific investigations further show that AKT1 and AKT2 can exert non-redundant or even opposing effects on migration, invasion, inflammation, and fibrogenesis depending on cellular context[2][6][8]. For experimental applications, increasing efforts focus on developing AKT1-selective inhibitors and isoform-selective cellular models, which provide valuable tools for dissecting AKT isoform-specific signaling and for evaluating targeted therapeutic strategies with improved selectivity profiles[6][7][9].

Expression
Tissue_specificity:This protein is expressed in prostate cancer, and its expression level gradually increases from normal to malignant (protein level) . It is expressed in all human cell types analyzed to date. The phosphorylated form of Tyr-176 is significantly increased in the progressive stages of breast cancer (i.e., from normal to hyperplastic (ADH) , ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) , invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) , and lymph node metastasis (LNMM) stages) . -
Isoforms & Post-Translational Modification
AKT1 has 2 isomers: P31749-1: 55686 Da (predicted); P31749-2: 48347 Da (predicted).
O-GlcNAcylation at Thr-305 and Thr-312 inhibits activating phosphorylation at Thr-308 via disrupting the interaction between AKT1 and PDPK1. O-GlcNAcylation at Ser-473 also probably interferes with phosphorylation at this site;Phosphorylation on Thr-308, Ser-473 and Tyr-474 is required for full activity. Phosphorylation of the activation loop at Thr-308 by PDPK1/PDK1 is a prerequisite for full activation. Phosphorylation by mTORC2 in response to growth factors plays a key role in AKT1 activation: mTORC2 phosphorylates different sites depending on the context, such as Thr-450, Ser-473, Ser-477 or Thr-479, thereby facilitating subsequent phosphorylation of the activation loop by PDPK1/PDK1. -
