RNF32 Activators
Akt1 Activators encompass a range of chemical compounds that orchestrate the activation of Akt1 through a variety of signaling pathways, many of which converge on the PI3K/Akt signaling axis. Insulin and IGF-1 robustly activate Akt1 by engaging with their respective receptors, initiating a cascade that ultimately results in the phosphorylation and activation of Akt1. Similarly, Dihydrotestosterone can potentiate Akt1 activity by stimulating androgen receptors, which also feed into the PI3K/Akt pathway. The compounds PD 98059 and LY294002, although primarily recognized as inhibitors for MEK and PI3K, respectively, can enhance Akt1 activity through the relief of negative regulatory feedback mechanisms within the pathway. SC79 directly stabilizes the active conformation of Akt1, while AICAR and Metformin indirectly promote Akt1 activity by activating AMPK, leading to downstream effects that favor Akt1 activation.
Additionally, Triciribine and Spironolactone, though seemingly paradoxical as an Akt inhibitor and a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist, respectively, can enhance Akt1 activation by disrupting negative feedback loops or by influencing signaling components with competing activities. Nicotinamide and Resveratrol both act through sirtuins and AMPK, affecting the NAD+ levels and LKB1 activity, respectively, which ultimately enhances Akt1 signaling. This diverse array of Akt1 activators demonstrates the intricate network of regulatory mechanisms that control Akt1 activity.

Insulin | 11061-68-0 | sc-29062 sc-29062A sc-29062B | 100 mg 1 g 10 g | $156.00 $1248.00 $12508.00 | 82 | |
Insulin activates the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Insulin binding to its receptor leads to the activation of PI3K, which phosphorylates PIP2 to PIP3. PIP3 then directly activates Akt1 by binding to its PH domain, leading to its phosphorylation and activation. | ||||||
PD 98059 | 167869-21-8 | sc-3532 sc-3532A | 1 mg 5 mg | $40.00 $92.00 | 212 | |
PD 98059 inhibits MEK, which is upstream of ERK. By inhibiting MEK, there is reduced negative feedback on the PI3K pathway, potentially enhancing Akt1 activity. | ||||||
LY 294002 | 154447-36-6 | sc-201426 sc-201426A | 5 mg 25 mg | $123.00 $400.00 | 148 | |
LY294002 is a PI3K inhibitor, but paradoxically, it can activate Akt1 in some contexts by disrupting negative feedback loops that restrain PI3K/Akt signaling under certain conditions. | ||||||

SC79 is a specific Akt activator that binds to the PH domain of Akt and is known to protect Akt1 from dephosphorylation, thus maintaining Akt1 in an active state. | ||||||
AICAR | 2627-69-2 | sc-200659 sc-200659A sc-200659B | 50 mg 250 mg 1 g | $65.00 $280.00 $400.00 | 48 | |
AICAR activates AMPK, which can augment Akt1 activity through the inhibition of TSC2, subsequently activating mTOR, a process that can lead to Akt1 activation. | ||||||
Triciribine | 35943-35-2 | sc-200661 sc-200661A | 1 mg 5 mg | $104.00 $141.00 | 14 | |
Triciribine, an Akt inhibitor, can under specific conditions lead to Akt1 activation by inhibiting downstream components that are part of a negative feedback loop, enhancing Akt1 signaling. | ||||||
Spironolactone | 52-01-7 | sc-204294 | 50 mg | $109.00 | 3 | |
Spironolactone indirectly activates Akt1 by antagonizing the mineralocorticoid receptor, leading to a decrease in SGK1 activity, which can have an opposing effect on Akt1 activity. | ||||||
Nicotinamide | 98-92-0 | sc-208096 sc-208096A sc-208096B sc-208096C | 100 g 250 g 1 kg 5 kg | $44.00 $66.00 $204.00 $831.00 | 6 | |
Nicotinamide is a form of vitamin B3 that can enhance Akt1 activity by serving as a precursor for NAD+, which is used by PTEN to dephosphorylate PIP3, and reduced PTEN activity can lead to increased Akt1 activation. | ||||||
Resveratrol | 501-36-0 | sc-200808 sc-200808A sc-200808B | 100 mg 500 mg 5 g | $80.00 $220.00 $460.00 | 64 | |
Resveratrol activates SIRT1, which can deacetylate and activate LKB1, leading to the activation of AMPK and subsequent downstream effects that can increase Akt1 activity. | ||||||
Metformin | 657-24-9 | sc-507370 | 10 mg | $79.00 | 2 | |
Metformin activates AMPK which can inhibit mTORC1, releasing the inhibition on IRS1, thus potentially leading to increased PI3K activity and subsequent Akt1 activation. | ||||||
