SGK3 Gene

serum/glucocorticoid regulated kinase family, member 3

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]

C8ORF44-SGK3 Gene

C8orf44-SGK3 readthrough

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring putative uncharacterized protein C8orf44 (GeneID 56260) and serine/threonine-protein kinase Sgk3 (GeneID 23678) genes on chromosome 8. The read-through transcript produces a protein that shares sequence identity with the downstream gene product. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011]
