Abstract
Macrophages display an array of activation phenotypes depending on the activation signal and the cellular microenvironment. The type and magnitude of the response depend on signaling molecules as well as on the epigenetic and metabolic status of the cells at the time of activation. The AKT family of kinases consists of three isoforms encoded by independent genes possessing similar functions and structures. Generation of research tools such as isoform-specific gene deletion mutant mice and cells and isoform-specific antibodies has allowed us to understand the role of each kinase isoform in macrophage activation and homeostasis. This chapter discusses the current evidence on the role of AKT kinases in macrophage activation, polarization, and homeostasis, highlighting the gaps in knowledge and future challenges in the field.
