Protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt is a serine/threonine kinase activated by growth hormones and implicated in prevention of apoptosis, glycogen metabolism and glucose uptake. PKB/Akt regulates a variety of cellular functions including cell survival, cell growth, cell differentiation, cell cycle progression, transcription, translation and cellular metabolism. This review will summarize the structure and functions of PKB/Akt and indicates the evidence that PKB/Akt is an important mediator of physiological effects of insulin and several growth factors and plays a key role in various cellular functions
