General annotation (Comments)

Function

Acts downstream age-1 and pdk-1 in the daf-2/insulin receptor-like transduction pathway, which controls longevity and prevents developmental arrest at the dauer stage. Phosphorylates Forkhead-related daf-16 transcription factor, which inhibits its entry into the nucleus and antagonizes its function.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.

Subunit structure

Interacts with pdk-1, sgk-1, akt-1 and daf-16. Part of a complex containing sgk-1, akt-1 and akt-2.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in neurons, muscle cells of the pharynx, rectal gland cells, and spermatheca.

Developmental stage

Expressed in late stage embryos and throughout life.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. RAC subfamily.

Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.

Contains 1 PH domain.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform a (identifier: Q9XTG7-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform b (identifier: Q9XTG7-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     470-483: EFTSMPVQLTPPRR → VRYVSILLKVSEAI
     484-528: Missing.
