AKT1 AKT2 and AKT3 also known as Protein Kinase B (PKB) isoforms are serine/threonine-specific protein kinases with critical roles in cellular processes. AKT1 has a molecular weight of about 55.8 kDa AKT2 weighs approximately 56.1 kDa and AKT3 typically has a similar mass. These proteins are expressed in many tissues including brain and heart with AKT1 ubiquitously present AKT2 focused in insulin-responsive tissues and AKT3 mainly in the brain. The molecular weight of AKT plays an important role in their functionality and specificity in tissues.
Biological function summary
AKT proteins regulate cell cycle growing cell survival proliferation and metabolism. They participate as core components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway forming complexes with other proteins to transmit signals. They bind to phosphoinositide lipids on the cell membrane facilitating their activation and downstream signaling. Through these activities the AKT transporter proteins maintain cellular homeostasis and play a part in stress response.
Pathways
AKT proteins engage in important signaling networks including the PI3K/AKT pathway and mTOR pathway. They work closely with PI3K and mTOR proteins coordinating cellular growth and energy metabolism. In particular the AKT pathway responds to growth factors and insulin influencing glucose uptake and glycolysis regulation through interaction with proteins such as glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3).
Dysregulation of AKT signaling can lead to cancer and diabetes. High AKT activation correlates with various cancers by promoting cell survival and growth. In diabetes impaired AKT2 regulation disrupts glucose uptake affecting insulin response. AKT's relationship with mTOR is significant as it often influences tumor growth and progression in cancerous tissues.
