The AKT1 protein is part of the AKT kinase family and is critical for metabolism, proliferation, survival, growth, and angiogenesis. It phosphorylates more than 100 substrates, coordinates insulin-induced SLC2A4/GLUT4 translocation, affects glucose uptake, and controls glycogen storage through inhibition of GSK3A/B. AKT1 Protein, Human (sf9, His) is the recombinant human-derived AKT1 protein, expressed by Sf9 insect cells , with C-10*His labeled tag.

Human

AKT1 Protein, a member of the AKT kinase family alongside AKT2 and AKT3, plays a pivotal role in regulating diverse cellular processes such as metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, growth, and angiogenesis. Functioning through serine and/or threonine phosphorylation of numerous downstream substrates, AKT1 is implicated in the modulation of over 100 reported substrate candidates, demonstrating its multifaceted nature. Notably, it orchestrates the insulin-induced translocation of the SLC2A4/GLUT4 glucose transporter, impacting glucose uptake. Furthermore, AKT1 governs glucose storage as glycogen by phosphorylating GSK3A and GSK3B, inhibiting their kinase activity. Its involvement in various pathways includes mediating insulin-stimulated protein synthesis through the mTORC1 signaling pathway and regulating the FOXO factors, impacting cellular localization. AKT1 also influences NF-kappa-B-dependent gene transcription and positively regulates CREB1 activity, contributing to the transcription of pro-survival genes. Additionally, AKT1 exhibits a role in lipid metabolism by phosphorylating ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) and activates the 3B isoform of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase (PDE3B), resulting in reduced cyclic AMP levels and inhibition of lipolysis. Beyond these functions, AKT1 is implicated in cell migration, adhesion assembly and disassembly, placental development, and diverse cellular responses to growth factors, including platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF), epidermal growth factor (EGF), insulin, and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I). The recent discovery of its role in the SPATA13-mediated regulation of cell migration and adhesion adds to the complexity of its functions, highlighting AKT1's central role in cellular homeostasis and responsiveness to environmental cues.
