sgk-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including mesendoderm development; positive regulation of vitellogenesis; and regulation of protein localization to basolateral plasma membrane. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Expressed in intestine; neurons; and tail neurons. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cystadenocarcinoma (multiple); granulosa cell tumor; and hypertension. Is an ortholog of human C8orf44-SGK3 (C8orf44-SGK3 readthrough); SGK2 (serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase 2); and SGK3 (serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase family member 3).
