AKT Signaling Pathway | Regulation and Downstream Effects

The video introduces the AKT signaling pathway, detailing its activation, regulation, and role in cellular functions. AKT, also known as protein kinase B, is crucial in processes like glucose uptake, protein synthesis, and cell survival. It is activated by growth signals and regulated by phosphatases. The pathway's significance in diseases such as cancer and diabetes is highlighted, emphasizing its role in increasing anabolism and decreasing catabolism.
