Summary: Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including bone development; glucose homeostasis; and positive regulation of D-glucose import. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gill; heart; muscle; and pleuroperitoneal region. 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, Dec 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.
