About Akt2

Chromosome 7: 27,290,977-27,340,251 forward strand.GRCm39:CM001000.3

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 237 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 35 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 4.3), mammary gland adult (RPKM 35.7) and 28 other tissues.

Summary

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to Insulin stimulus; intracellular protein transmembrane transport; and positive regulation of transport. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on protein localization to nucleus. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation of GTPase activity; cellular response to high LIGHT intensity; and peripheral nervous system myelin maintenance. Located in cell cortex and ruffle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brown fat; central nervous system; genitourinary system; retina; and spleen. 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; hypoinsulinemic hypoglycemia with hemihypertrophy; and reproductive organ Cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human Akt2 (Akt serine/threonine kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
