Biomedical lesson on AKT (Protein Kinase B) signaling, regulation and downstream effects. The AKT signalling pathway is a highly conserved pathway that induces several important functions including glucose uptake and utilization, protein synthesis, fatty acid synthesis, glycogenesis and cell survival and proliferation.

Hey everyone. This lesson introduces the AKT (PKB) signalling pathway, how the pathway is regulated and controlled, and what are the major cellular outcomes of AKT signaling. Additionally, we also discuss how diseases such as cancer can be associated with abnormal AKT signaling.

    Just started my research masters, this video is sweeter to my eyes and ears than any of my greatest youthful crushes.
  • @dena3107
    I have an exam about this today and I was always confused about certain parts in this pathway. This video clearly and succinctly explains the pathway, thank you so much!
  • @xinjunwu7941
    thank you for spending time and sharing your knowledge with us.
  • @alexisteja9920
    You are amazing! I wish I can be able to explain this clearly to my students just like you did. Thank you!
  • @shashidharnrao
    fantastic video on how AKT Kinase works. I learnt a lot. The author has a very lucid style of explanation. Thank you for posting.
  • @ikyhwh
    I'm glad you saved the simple explanation for the end because it helped me digest such a detailed explanation of all of the macronutrients it regulates by blocking them... I think 😅 Black seed oil 👍
  • simply perfect. i wish you could do a similar video to the pathways involved in HSP90 alpha.
  • @varshaps3165
    Thank you so much for this lecture. It was really really helpful ☺️☺️
