#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

PH domain of PKB binds with high affinity to the 

3-phosphates in both PI(3,4)P2 and PI(3,4,5)P3

In unstimulated cells, 

concentration of phosphoinositides is low, and PKB is

inactive because its PH domain physically blocks the kinase active site

Maximal activation of PKB depends on recruitment to the cytosolic surface of the plasma membrane of two other kinases -PDK1 and PDK2.
