PRKAA1 and neoplasm: These kinases include Akt (PI3K/Akt pathway), FAK (Focal Adhesion Kinase), Fgr kinase, and AMPKα1 (AMP-activated protein kinase); these kinases have been implicated in promoting survival after RT, tumor progression and metastasis processes (e.g., migration and cellular adhesion signaling) [2, 18, 19].
