Function |
Serine/threonine kinase involved in various developmental processes. During early embryogenesis, acts as a survival protein. During mid-embryogenesis, phosphorylates and activates trh, a transcription factor required for tracheal cell fate determination. Also regulates tracheal cell migration. Later in development, acts downstream of PI3K and Pk61C/PDK1 in the insulin receptor transduction pathway which regulates cell growth and organ size, by phosphorylating and antagonizing FOXO transcription factor. Controls follicle cell size during oogenesis. May also stimulate cell growth by phosphorylating Gig/Tsc2 and inactivating the Tsc complex. Dephosphorylation of 'Ser-586' by Phlpp triggers apoptosis and suppression of tumor growth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10587646, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10962553, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11740943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11752451, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11872800, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12172554, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12893776, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14525946, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15466161,
