What proteins involve?

Manoj Balakrishna Menon

Was an interesting question for me too. Found this review.

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/44851801_Evolution_of_the_TSC1TSC2-TOR_signaling_pathway

Looks like Akt as such is present mostly in the animal kingdom only, while some other components of the PI3K-mTOR signaling exist in plants.

Hope it helps!
