Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in liver, kidney and pancreas, and at lower levels in brain. |
Post Translational Modifications | Activated by phosphorylation on Ser-356 by an unknown kinase (may be mTORC2 but not confirmed), transforming it into a substrate for PDPK1 which then phosphorylates it on Thr-193. |
Function | Serine/threonine-protein kinase which is involved in the regulation of a wide variety of ion channels, membrane transporters, cell growth, survival and proliferation. Up-regulates Na(+) channels: SCNN1A/ENAC, K(+) channels: KCNA3/Kv1.3, KCNE1 and KCNQ1, amino acid transporter: SLC6A19, glutamate transporter: SLC1A6/EAAT4, glutamate receptors: GRIA1/GLUR1 and GRIK2/GLUR6, Na(+)/H(+) exchanger: SLC9A3/NHE3, and the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase. |
