AKT1 and ovarian cancer: The levels of proteins and kinases known to be associated with cancer proliferation and/or apoptosis (p21, p53, ERK, phospho-ERK, AKT, phospho-AKT and cleaved PARP) were examined in the background of STAMP or Lamin silencing to determine if they paralleled the growth rates of the ovarian cancer cells with reduced amounts of STAMP mRNA.
