AKT proto-oncogene overexpression is an early event during sporadic colon carcinogenesis
1 Jan 2002
Abstract excerpt
The inhibition of apoptosis is a critical event in the development of colorectal malignancies, although the mechanism(s) remain incompletely understood. The anti-apoptotic proto-oncogene, AKT, has been implicated in the molecular pathogenesis of a variety of human malignancies; however, no data exist on the role of AKT in colon carcinogenesis. We therefore evaluated the presence of AKT in human and experimental...
