About Akt2

Primary_assembly 1: 82,883,547-82,933,817 forward strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026974.1

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 237 orthologues, 5 paralogues and is associated with 31 phenotypes. Biased expression in Muscle (RPKM 265.6), Heart (RPKM 231.4) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables ATP binding activity; protein kinase C binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; positive regulation of glucose import; and positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to Insulin stimulus and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Located in several cellular components, including insulin-responsive compartment; mitochondrion; and sarcoplasmic reticulum. Used to study high grade glioma and ischemia. Biomarker of colorectal cancer; hepatocellular carcinoma; hypertension; and obesity. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glucose metabolism disease (multiple); 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]
