GlossaryAKT3

gene involved in cell growth and survival

AKT3 is a gene that encodes a protein involved in cell growth, survival, and metabolism. It is one of the three isoforms of the AKT kinase family, which play a crucial role in signaling pathways that regulate these cellular processes. Mutations or dysregulation of AKT3 can be associated with various conditions, including cancer and certain types of alopecia, where it may affect hair follicle function and growth.
