Target Information

The Akt signaling pathway contributes to the regulation of apoptosis after a variety of cell death signals. AKT1S1, also known as PRAS40, is a proline-rich substrate of the kinase AKT1 and plays a role in neuroprotection mediated by nerve growth factor (NGF) after transient focal cerebral ischemia.
AKT1S1 is also a substrate and potential regulator of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell growth and the cell cycle, and a negative regulator of autophagy. Treatment with insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF1) can induce phosphorylation of AKT1S1 via the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in PC12 cells.
