Abstract excerpt
Serine/threonine kinase Akt is a downstream effector of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase pathway that is involved in many processes, including providing neuroprotection to stressed photoreceptor cells. Akt exists in three isoforms designated as Akt1, Akt2, and Akt3. All of these isoforms are expressed in the retina. We previously reported that Akt2 knockout mice were susceptible to light stress-induced photoreceptor...
