Abstract
The protein kinase Akt is now well recognized as a potent inhibitor of apoptosis. Work published by Majewski et al. in the December 3rd issue of Molecular Cell indicates that a major pathway by which Akt suppresses cell death is by stimulating the translocation of hexokinase to the mitochondrion. Hexokinase, in turn, antagonizes the release of mitochondrial cytochrome C.Entities:
