The Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase (Akt)/ Protein Kinase B (PkB) Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer [PDF]
Journal of Mind and Medical Sciences, 2020 According to statistical data published in 2019, breast cancer is among the leading causes of death in women worldwide. The serine/threonine kinase (AKT) or protein kinase B (PkB) signaling pathway is activated by phosphorylation processes, which further

Phospho-Form Specific Substrates of Protein Kinase B (AKT1)
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2021 Protein kinase B (AKT1) is hyper-activated in diverse human tumors. AKT1 is activated by phosphorylation at two key regulatory sites, Thr308 and Ser473. Active AKT1 phosphorylates many, perhaps hundreds, of downstream cellular targets in the cytosol and ...

Effect of CHKA gene silencing on biological behavior of glioma cell and its mechanism [PDF]
Zhongguo aizheng zazhi, 2021 Background and purpose: Glioma is one of the common intracranial malignant tumors, but the specific mechanism was unclear. The expression level of choline kinase A (CHKA) is positively correlated with the malignant grade of glioma.

Inferring Compensatory Kinase Networks in Yeast using Prolog [PDF]
EPTCS 385, 2023, pp. 260-273, 2023 Signalling pathways are conserved across different species, therefore making yeast a model organism to study these via disruption of kinase activity. Yeast has 159 genes that encode protein kinases and phosphatases, and 136 of these have counterparts in humans.

Protein kinase D enzymes are dispensable for proliferation, survival and antigen receptor-regulated NFκB activity in vertebrate B-cells [PDF]
, 2007 To investigate the importance of protein kinase D (PKD) enzymes we generated a PKD-null DT40 B-lymphocyte cell line. Previously we have shown that PKDs have an essential role in regulating class II histone deacetylases in DT40 B-cells [Matthews, S.A ...
