Abstract excerpt
The three Akt isoforms differ in their ability to transduce oncogenic signals initiated by the Neu and PyMT oncogenes in mammary epithelia. As a result, ablation of Akt1 inhibits and ablation of Akt2 accelerates mammary tumor development by both oncogenes, while ablation of Akt3 is phenotypically almost neutral. Since the risk of breast cancer development in humans correlates with multiple late pregnancies, we...
