Protein Biology

Function

Several AKT2-specific substrates have been identified, including ANKRD2, C2CD5, CLK2 and PITX2. May play a role in myoblast differentiation (PubMed:17565718). In this context, may act through PITX2 phosphorylation. Unphosphorylated PITX2 associates with an ELAVL1/HuR-containing complex, which stabilizes cyclin mRNA and ensuring cell proliferation. Phosphorylation by AKT2 impairs this association, leading to CCND1 mRNA destabilization and progression towards differentiation (PubMed:20019746). Also involved in the negative regulation of myogenesis in response to stress conditions. In this context, acts by phosphorylating ANKRD2 (PubMed:21737686). May also be a key regulator of glucose uptake. Regulates insulin-stimulated glucose transport by the increase of glucose transporter GLUT4 translocation from intracellular stores to the plasma membrane. In this context, acts by phosphorylating C2CD5/CDP138 on 'Ser-197' in insulin-stimulated adipocytes (PubMed:21907143). Through the phosphorylation of CLK2 on 'Thr-343', involved in insulin-regulated suppression of hepatic gluconeogenesis (PubMed:20074525)

Subunit

Interacts with BTBD10 (PubMed:18160256). Interacts with KCTD20 (PubMed:24156551). Interacts (via PH domain) with MTCP1, TCL1A and TCL1B; this interaction may facilitate AKT2 oligomerization and phosphorylation, hence increasing kinase activity (By similarity). Interacts with PHB2; this interaction may be important for myogenic differentiation (PubMed:17565718). Interacts (when phosphorylated) with CLIP3/ClipR-59; this interaction promotes cell membrane localization (PubMed:19139280). Interacts with WDFY2 (via WD repeats 1-3) (PubMed:16792529, PubMed:20189988)
