Descriptions

Akt is a serine/threonine kinase that belongs to a group of proteins called the AGC superfamily. It is involved in various biological responses through the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signal transduction pathway. Akt2, in particular, is regulated by different regions of the protein.<br>The N-terminal PH domain of Akt2 plays a regulatory role in its activation. Phosphorylation of Ser474 in the C-terminal regulatory domain is also necessary for full activation of Akt2. These modifications help activate the kinase and enable it to carry out its functions.<br>The linker region between the N-lobe and C-lobe of Akt2 occupies the ATP binding site. Additionally, the activation loop within Akt2 aids in autoinhibition by blocking the binding of peptide substrates, while still allowing access to the ATP binding site.

cell cortex The region of a cell that lies just beneath the plasma membrane and often, but not always, contains a network of actin filaments and associated proteins.
cytosol The part of the cytoplasm that does not contain organelles but which does contain other particulate matter, such as protein complexes.
early endosome A membrane-bounded organelle that receives incoming material from primary endocytic vesicles that have been generated by clathrin-dependent and clathrin-independent endocytosis; vesicles fuse with the early endosome to deliver cargo for sorting into recycling or degradation pathways.

In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
