Identification of Protein Kinase Inhibitory Activities Fromstreptomyces Strain H7372 for Potential Use As Anti-Canceragent

Aberrations in the phospbatidylinositol3-kinase (PI3K)IAkt pathway have been found in a wide spectrum of human cancers. Activation of Akt and inactivation of the downstream substrates such as GSK-3P, BAD and Forkhead family (FKHR) proteins are relevant to promote cell survival, proliferation and...
