Akt3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables ATP binding activity; protein kinase C binding activity; and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to insulin stimulus and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; ciliary basal body; and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon cancer; glioblastoma; prostate adenocarcinoma; prostate cancer; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human AKT3 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 3).

Protein Domains
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 rat Akt3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
