Akt1 - thymoma viral proto-oncogene 1 Gene
Also Known as Akt; PKB; Rac; LTR-akt; PKB/Akt; PKBalpha
Species: Mus musculus
About Akt1
This gene has 9 transcripts (splice variants), 219 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 60 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in adrenal adult (RPKM 14.9), limb E14.5 (RPKM 84.5) and 28 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes the founding member of the Akt serine-threonine protein kinase gene family that also includes Akt2 and Akt3. This kinase is a major downstream effector of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway that mediates the effects of various growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), Insulin and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). It is activated through recruitment to cellular membranes by PI3K lipid products and by phosphorylation by 3-phosphoinositide dependent kinase-1. It then further phosphorylates different downstream proteins in response to various extracellular signals and thus plays a pivotal role in mediating a variety of cellular processes, such as Glucose Metabolism, glycogen biosynthesis, protein synthesis and turn over, inflammatory response, cell survival (anti-apoptosis) and development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]
