Product Specs

Introduction

AKT Serine/Threonine Kinase 3 (Akt3) is a member of the Akt subfamily of serine/threonine protein kinases. Akt3 is one of three closely related serine/threonine-protein kinases (Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3) known as the Akt kinase, which regulate various cellular processes including proliferation, metabolism, cell survival, growth, and angiogenesis. This regulation is mediated through the phosphorylation of serine and/or threonine residues on a range of downstream substrates. Akt3 plays a role in brain development and is essential for the survival of malignant glioma cells.

Product Science Overview

Gene and Protein Structure

The AKT3 gene is located on chromosome 1q43-q44 in humans . The protein encoded by this gene is one of three closely related AKT isoforms, the others being AKT1 and AKT2 . AKT3 is the least studied among the AKT isoforms but is known to be essential for brain development and the viability of malignant glioma cells .

Function and Mechanism

AKT3 is involved in regulating cell signaling in response to insulin and growth factors such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) . It mediates its effects through serine and/or threonine phosphorylation of a range of downstream substrates . This kinase has been shown to play a role in various biological processes, including:

  • Cell proliferation and differentiation
  • Apoptosis and tumorigenesis
  • Glycogen synthesis and glucose uptake
Biological Significance

AKT3 has been implicated in several critical biological processes:

  • Brain Development: AKT3 is crucial for brain morphogenesis and the maintenance of the number of cells within a tissue .
  • Cancer: It is essential for the viability of malignant glioma cells and may play a role in the regulation of matrix metalloproteinase 13 (MMP13) via interleukin 13 (IL13) .
  • Angiogenesis: AKT3 positively regulates endothelial cell proliferation and migration, contributing to angiogenesis .
Clinical Implications

Mutations or dysregulation of AKT3 have been associated with various disorders, including:

  • Megalencephaly-Polymicrogyria-Polydactyly-Hydrocephalus Syndrome 2 (MPPH2)
  • Megalencephaly-Polymicrogyria-Postaxial Polydactyly-Hydrocephalus Syndrome
Recombinant AKT3

Recombinant AKT3 proteins are used in research to study its function and role in various diseases. These proteins are produced using recombinant DNA technology, which allows for the expression of AKT3 in various host systems .
