Deskripsi

Hyperactivation of Akt promotes tumorigenesis. Here, the authors show that SAV1, a member of Hippo signalling, interacts with Akt to suppress Akt activity and MERTK-mediated Akt phosphorylation relieves this suppression to facilitate Akt oncogenic activity in clear cell renal carcinomas.
