General description

A cell-permeable, potent, and selective inhibitor of Akt1/Akt2 activity (IC50 = 58 nM, 210 nM, and 2.12 µM for Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3, respectively, in in vitro kinase assays). The inhibition is reported to be pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-dependent. It does not exhibit any inhibitory effect against PH domain-lacking Akts, or other closely related AGC family kinases, PKA, PKC, and SGK, even at concentrations as high as 50 µM. Overcomes Akt1/Akt2-mediated resistance to chemotherapeutics in tumor cells and is shown to block basal and stimulated phosphorylation/activation of Akt1/Akt2 both in cultured cells in vitro and in mice in vivo.

Impaired degradation of the transcriptional coactivator YAP1 and IL6ST (interleukin 6 cytokine family signal transducer), two proteins deregulated in liver cancer, has been shown to promote tumor growth. Here, we demonstrate that YAP1 and IL6ST are novel substrates of chaperone-mediated

Muscle atrophy is regulated by the balance between protein degradation and synthesis. FOXO1, a transcription factor, helps to determine this balance by activating pro-atrophic gene transcription when present in muscle fiber nuclei. Foxo1 nuclear efflux is promoted by AKT-mediated Foxo1
