Akt2

Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in negative regulation of PERK-mediated unfolded protein response and 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, Jul 2025]

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Akt2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
