Catalytic domain of the Protein Serine/Threonine Kinase, Serum- and Glucocorticoid-induced Kinase 3 STKs catalyze the transfer of the gamma-phosphoryl group from ATP to serine/threonine residues on protein substrates. SGK3 (also called cytokine-independent survival kinase or CISK) is expressed in most tissues and is most abundant in the embryo and adult heart and spleen. It was originally discovered in a screen for antiapoptotic genes. It phosphorylates and inhibits the proapoptotic proteins, Bad and FKHRL1. SGK3 also regulates many transporters, ion channels, and receptors. It plays a critical role in hair follicle morphogenesis and hair cycling. The SGK3 subfamily is part of a larger superfamily that includes the catalytic domains of other STKs, protein tyrosine kinases, RIO kinases, aminoglycoside phosphotransferase, choline kinase, and phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
