Publication Link Summary of findings
18048359 a key regulatory role of the Akt/mTOR pathway in the generation of the effects of As(2)O(3)
17372934 Changes in tissue pressure during inflammation may regulate macrophage phagocytosis by activation of PI-3K, which activates Akt2, mTOR, and p70S6K.
18281467 Functional convergence of Twist and AKT2 underscores the importance of this signaling pathway in tumor development and progression.
17914025 Akt1 and Akt2 mediate GPIb-IX signaling via the cGMP-dependent signaling pathway.

17576055 Observational study of gene-disease association. (HuGE Navigator)
17825284 Pressure did not stimulate translocation of AKT2 to the plasma membrane.
17908691 Akt2 is required for rapamycin-induced vascular smooth muscle cell differentiation, whereas Akt1 appears to oppose contractile protein expression.
17895832 PKB[alpha] and/or PKB[gamma] and not PKB[beta] alone are involved in gemcitabine resistance mechanisms.
17804734 AKT2 up-regulation is characteristic of skin squamous cell carcinoma and coincident AKT2 activation through serine phosphorylation correlates with malignancy.
