Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
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).
