In agreement with these findings, overexpression of enzymatically inactive AKT2 in breast and ovarian cancer cells diminishes their motility and invasion capabilities in vitro and their ability to form tumors in vivo, whereas overexpression of full length AKT2 results in increased survival, migration and invasion in vitro, and formation of multiple adherent and non-adherent metastatic modules in vivo [31]. Here, AKT2 is linked to ovarian carcinoma.
