SGK3 Gene

Name serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase family, member 3
Description This gene is a member of the Ser/Thr protein kinase family and encodes a phosphoprotein with a PX (phox homology) domain. The protein phosphorylates several target proteins and has a role in neutral amino acid transport and activation of potassium and chloride channels. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nSGK3 is an AGC family serine/threonine protein kinase that functions downstream of phosphoinositide 3‐kinase (PI3K) pathways. Uniquely, SGK3 contains a Phox homology (PX) domain that targets it to endosomes, where its activation is governed by dual phosphorylation events mediated by PDK1 and other kinases. Its endosomal localization is critically dependent on PI3K signaling—including both Class I and Class III (Vps34) pathways—and is further regulated by chaperone complexes such as Hsp90–Cdc37 that control its stability and activation. Innovative approaches using peroxisomal targeting have also provided insights into its protein–protein interactions."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "1", "end_ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nIn cancer settings, SGK3 plays an oncogenic role that can be independent of Akt. In breast cancer, for example, oncogenic PIK3CA mutations and INPP4B upregulation drive SGK3 activation, thereby promoting estrogen receptor–mediated cell survival, 3D proliferation, invasive migration, and tumorigenesis. SGK3 is also implicated in melanoma, where it functions downstream of PDK1 to phosphorylate targets involved in metastasis, and its dysregulation in hepatocellular carcinoma and prostate cancer correlates with increased cell growth, poor patient prognosis, and enhanced androgen receptor–dependent proliferation. Beyond its roles in tumor biology, SGK3 regulates the activity and surface expression of multiple ion channels and transporters—including KCNE1/KCNQ1, ENaC, the inward hERG potassium channel, the neutral amino acid transporter SLC6A19, the creatine transporter SLC6A8, and even neuronal receptors such as GluR1—and thereby modulates membrane excitability and cellular ion homeostasis. Notably, in several settings SGK3 acts distinct from other SGK family members, and in cardiac cells it is not required for insulin‐dependent activation of PFK‐2."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_fs", "start_ref": "5", "end_ref": "28"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n\n"}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\nBeyond oncogenesis and ion transport regulation, SGK3 is emerging as a modulator of diverse physiological processes. It contributes to the control of cellular excitability by regulating inward rectifier potassium channels and acts additively with accessory proteins—such as stargazin—to enhance neurotransmitter receptor (e.g., GluR1) function. In endocrine tissues, SGK3 influences transporter activities and may modulate granulosa cell proliferation, with implications in conditions like polycystic ovary syndrome.
