Abstract excerpt
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase)/Akt signaling pathway is an important mediator of growth factor-dependent survival of mammalian cells. A variety of targets of the Akt protein kinase have been implicated in cell survival, including the protein kinase glycogen synthase kinase 3beta (GSK-3beta). One of the targets of GSK-3beta is translation initiation factor 2B (eIF2B), linking global regulation of...
