    Summary
    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. Is expressed in several structures, including excretory canal; neurons; pharynx; rectum; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including breast cancer (multiple); colorectal cancer (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); pancreatic cancer (multiple); and reproductive organ cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human AKT1 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 1); AKT2 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 2); and AKT3 (AKT serine/threonine kinase 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
