Summary: Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; negative regulation of cell communication; and regulation of neuron projection development. Acts upstream of with a positive effect on regulation of growth and regulation of hemocyte proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cytosol; and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior endoderm; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; ganglia; gut section; and mesoderm. Used to study Parkinson's disease; alcohol use disorder; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); colorectal cancer (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); pancreatic cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1); AKT2 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 2); and AKT3 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

Our findings demonstrate a non-autonomous activation of a ROS sensing mechanism by Ask1 and Akt1 to replace the missing tissue after damage. Collectively, these results provide the basis for understanding the molecular mechanism of communication between dying and living cells that triggers regeneration.

The metabolic defects of cycG mutant animals are abrogated by a concomitant loss of Wdb, CycG presumably influences Akt1 activity at the PP2A nexus; Well rounded (Wrd), another B' subunit of PP2A in Drosophila, binds CycG similar to Wdb, and that its loss ameliorates some, but not all, of the metabolic defects of cycG mutants.
