catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,enzyme regulation:Two specific sites, one in the kinase domain (Thr-320) and the other in the C-terminal regulatory region (Ser-486), need to be phosphorylated for its full activation.,function:Involved in the activation of potassium channels. Mediates cell IL-3-dependent survival signals.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family.,similarity:Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 1 protein kinase domain.,similarity:Contains 1 PX (phox homology) domain.,subcellular location:Localized in vesicle-like structures and in the early endosome.,tissue specificity:Expressed in most tissues with highest levels in pancreas, kidney liver, heart and brain and lower levels in lung, placenta and skeletal muscle.,
Cytoplasmic vesicle . Early endosome. Recycling endosome. Endosomal localization is a prerequisite for complete kinase activity. It is essential for its colocalization with the kinase responsible for phosphorylating Ser-486 thus allowing PDPK1 phosphorylation of Thr-320 resulting in complete activation of SGK3. Localized in vesicle-like structures and in the early endosome. Colocalizes with SLC9A3/NHE3 in the recycling endosomes.
Expressed in most tissues with highest levels in pancreas, kidney liver, heart and brain and lower levels in lung, placenta and skeletal muscle. Expression is higher in ER-positive breast tumors than ER-negative breast tumors.
