ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a nucleic acid molecule encoding human Akt-3 protein or a functional equivalent or bioprecursor thereof comprising the amino acid sequence illustrated in Sequence ID No. 3. The human Akt-3 protein itself also forms part of the invention. The nucleic acid molecule and the human Akt-3 protein may themselves be used as medicaments, or in the preparation of medicaments for treating cancer, in their own right or in the form of a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier, diluent or excipient thereof. Further disclosed are methods of identifying agents which influence the activity of a human Akt-3 protein.
