Summary: Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in positive regulation of protein targeting to membrane. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of GTPase activity; cellular response to high light intensity; and insulin receptor signaling pathway. Located in cell cortex and ruffle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Used to study polycystic ovary syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose metabolism disease (multiple); high grade glioma; and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human AKT2 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
