Physiological roles of PKB/Akt isoforms in development and disease

Dummler, B., Hemmings, B.A.·2007·Biochemical Society Transactions

Abstract

PKB (protein kinase B, also known as Akt) is a serine/threonine protein kinase that is important in various signalling cascades and acts as a major signal transducer downstream of activated phosphoinositide 3-kinase. There are three closely related isoforms of PKB in mammalian cells, PKBalpha (Akt1), PKBbeta (Akt2) and PKBgamma (Akt3), and this review discusses recent advances in our understanding of the functions of these isoforms in the regulation of adipocyte differentiation, glucose homoeostasis and tumour development.

Statistics

Recomputing p-values needs the paper’s full text.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • AKT kinases (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3) are activated more universally downstream of receptor-mediated PI3K activation than other effectors.

    “Compared with other effectors, the AKT kinases (AKT1, AKT2, AKT3) seem to be activated more universally downstream of receptor-mediated PI3K activation (reviewed in [81,84]).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
