| General description: | Protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt) is a serine/threonine protein kinase and a key regulator of signal transduction processes. Important processes such as cell cycle, proliferation and apoptosis are regulated by PKB in response to stimuli such as growth factors, insulin and cytokines. Three isoforms of PKB have been identified, α, β and γ. PKB α is reportedly overexpressed in breast cancer cell lines, whereas PKB β is overexpressed in ovarian and pancreatic cancers. On cell stimulation by growth factors or insulin, PKB α translocates to the cell membrane, where it undergoes full activation by phosphorylation at Thr308 and Ser 473, by PDK1 and PDK2. PKB α plays a crucial role in several downstream pathways involved in glycogen synthesis, protein translation and cell proliferation. PKB is also a potent inhibitor of apoptotic cell death by suppressing BAD-induced death Anti-phospho PKB (pThr308) recognises PKB phosphorylated at threonine 308 (56 kDa). |
