Role of Akt in platelet aggregation. Akt is activated in a PI3K-dependent fashion by thromboxane A2 (TxA2) or thrombin. Akt activation promotes secretion of ADP from platelet-dense granules, which stimulates Gi-coupled pathways by binding to the P2Y12 receptor, thereby enhancing aggregate formation and stability.
