PI3K-Akt Signaling
PI3K-Akt signaling is a major intracellular pathway involved in metabolism, growth, survival, and gene regulation. Activated by insulin and other extracellular signals, the pathway connects receptors and IRS proteins with PI3K, PIP3, Akt, GLUT4, FOXO, mTORC1, and other downstream targets. Its functions are particularly important for glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis, lipid metabolism, protein synthesis, and insulin sensitivity.
