Enables calcium channel activity. Involved in calcium ion transport; response to hermaphrodite contact; and vulval location. Located in several cellular components, including neuronal cell body; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; and plasma membrane bounded cell projection. Expressed in CEM; nerve ring; neurons; and ray. Used to study autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intracranial aneurysm; polycystic kidney disease 2; and retinal degeneration. Is an ortholog of human PKD2 (polycystin 2, transient receptor potential cation channel) and PKD2L1 (polycystin 2 like 1, transient receptor potential cation channel).
Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to reactive oxygen species; dauer larval development; and regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Located in axon; neuronal cell body; and nucleus. Expressed in several structures, including gonad; intestine; neurons; pharynx; and ventral nerve cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma and prostate cancer. Is an ortholog of human PDPK1 (3-phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase 1).
Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate binding activity and protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in determination of adult lifespan; insulin receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of synaptic assembly at neuromuscular junction. Expressed in several structures, including excretory canal; neurons; pharynx; rectum; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including carcinoma (multiple); coronary artery disease (multiple); and glucose metabolism disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1); AKT2 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 2); and AKT3 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 3).
