Abstract
The survival of cells in multicellular organisms requires continuous stimulation from the extracellular environment. The phosphatidylinositol-3' kinase/Akt signaling cascade has been identified as a critical pathway for the transduction of extracellular survival signals. The finding that the pro-apoptotic protein BAD is a substrate of Akt/PKB has provided the first link between extracellular survival signals and the apoptotic machinery.Entities:
