    gene involved in cell growth and survival

    AKT1 is a gene that produces a protein involved in cell growth, survival, and metabolism. In simpler terms, it's like a switch that helps cells grow and stay alive. For professionals, AKT1 is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, which is often implicated in cancer and other diseases due to its role in promoting cell proliferation and inhibiting apoptosis.
