    GlossaryAkt phosphorylation

    process activating Akt protein by adding phosphate groups

    Akt phosphorylation, also known as Akt activation or Protein kinase B (PKB) phosphorylation, is a process where the Akt protein is activated by the addition of phosphate groups. This activation plays a crucial role in various cellular functions, including cell growth, survival, and metabolism. In the context of hair biology, Akt phosphorylation can influence hair follicle development and the health of hair cells.
