AKT1 Gene Editing    

AKT1 is a membrane of the AKT kinase family (consist of AKT1, AKT2, and AKT3), which belong to serine/threonine protein kinases. The AKT gene is located on the chromosome at 14q32.33. Phosphorylated AKT regulates many cellular life activities, including metabolism, proliferation, cell survival, and growth, by activating a series of signaling pathways. Growth factors that respond to AKT activity include EGF, IGF. AKT regulates glucose uptake by mediating insulin-induced SLC2A4 / GLUT4 glucose transporter transport to the cell surface. It also regulates the storage of glucose in the form of glycogen. AKT promotes cell survival via the phosphorylation of the apoptosis signal-related kinase. Phosphorylation of "Ser-83" reduces MAP3K5 kinase activity stimulated by oxidative stress, thereby preventing apoptosis. AKT is also a key component that regulates NF-κB-dependent gene transcription and positively regulates the activity of cyclic AMP (cAMP)-responsive element-binding protein (CREB1). Phosphorylation of CREB1 induces the binding of accessory proteins, which are required for the transcription of pro-survival genes.

Akt1 is involved in transvascular migration and metastasis of tumor cells in terms of angiogenesis and endothelial barrier function. In breast cancer cells, AKT1 may act as a metastasis suppressor to inhibit metastasis, while AKT1 can inhibit breast cancer cell migration by enhancing proteasomal degradation of NFAT (activated T cell nuclear factor) transcription factors. Studies have shown that AKT1 can block cell migration through TSC2. The mechanism of action of AKT1 in the pathogenesis of cancer, metastasis and invasion, and other diseases (such as nervous system diseases and diabetes) in different cell types and tissues still needs constant exploration by researchers.
