Background Information
AKT is a serine/threonine kinase and it participates in the key role of the PI3K signaling pathway. Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) is the key regulator of AKT activation. The recruitment of inactive AKT protein to PIP3-rich areas of the plasma membrane results in a conformational change that exposes the activation loop of AKT. AKT's activating kinase, phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK1) , is also recruited to PIP3 microdomains. PDK1 phosphorylates AKT on threonine 308 (Thr308) of the exposed activation loop, activating AKT and leading to a second phosphorylation of AKT at serine 473 (Ser473) by a kinase presumed to be mTORC2 that further potentiates kinase activity. Active AKT will phosphorylate various downstream protein targets that control cell growth and translational control and act to suppress apoptosis.
