    basic FUNCTION
  • playing an important role in cellular stress response
  • may be involved in the regulation of processes such as cell survival, neuronal excitability, and renal sodium excretion
  • capable to regulate the cell surface expression of several metabolite transporters including the insulin-sensitive facilitative glucose transporter SLC2A1
  • may contributing to the stimulation of cellular glucose uptake by insulin
  • stimulating glucose transport by enhancing the abundance of the facilitative glucose transporter SLC2A4 in the cell membrane at least in part via direct SLC2A4 phosphorylation
  • playing a key role in the molecular pathway of cell death, in which SGK1 seems to exert a protective role
  • having capacity to modulate expression of ion channels and transporters at the plasma membrane of many cell types also providing a means to alter membrane excitability in neurons
  • having multiple functions as a modulator of neuronal plasticity and a mediator of neuronal survival
  • also important in transduction of growth factors and steroid-dependent survival signals and may have a role in the development of resistance to cancer chemotherapy
  • participates in the stimulation of renal tubular glucose transport in diabetes, the renal profibrotic effect of both angiotensin II and aldosterone, and in fetal programing of arterial hypertension
  • involved in the regulation of epithelial transport through phosphorylation of the ubiquitin protein ligase NEDD4L
  • SGK1/SGK3 are novel potent stimulators of SLC6A19 and may thus participate in the regulation of neutral amino acid transport
  • short-lived protein, predominantly targeted to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to undergo rapid proteasome-mediated degradation through the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) system
  • inhibits the NOTCH1 signaling pathway via phosphorylation of FBXW7
  • highly cytokine-responsive gene in myeloma cells promoting their malignant growth
  • its regulation is important for ensuring uterine receptivity and maintenance of pregnancy
  • activation of platelets by thrombin leads to up-regulation of SGK1 and ORAI1 protein expression, an effect expected to further enhance activation-dependent Ca2+ entry into platelets with subsequent Ca2+-dependent degranulation, adhesion, aggregation and thrombus formation
  • is a positive regulator of constitutive albumin uptake in renal proximal tubule cells
  • neuronal expression of SGK1 in aged human brain and its nuclear compartmentalization suggest a possible neuroprotective role
  • is a mediator for the effects of cortisol on neurogenesis and glucocorticoid receptor (GR) function, with particular relevance to stress and depression
  • likely plays a key role in regulating neutrophil survival signaling
  • is important to the regulation of macrophage activation that contributes to the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH)
  • growth factor-responsive kinase, having a molecular role in stimulation of VSMC proliferation
  • role for SGK1 in stimulation of arterial VSMC growth via regulation of CTNNB1 dynamics and SGK1 is implicated in the progression of intimal narrowing following arterial injury
  • SGK1 and NDRG1 participate in the regulation of NFKB1 signaling and maturation of dendritic cells (DCs)
  • roles of AKT1 and SGK1 in the regulation of renal tubular transport

    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacts with NEDD4 and NEDD4L
  • regulating SLC5A1
  • regulating BSND and participating in the regulation of transport in kidney and inner ear
  • regulating the glucose transporter GLUT4 (SLC2A4)
  • interacting with SGK3 and SLC6A8 (increase SLC6A8 activity by increasing the maximal transport rate of the carrier)
  • target of SGK1 is the epithelial sodium channel, SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1C, SCNN1G, which plays a crucial role in the regulation of body sodium
  • SGK1, SGK2, SGK3 participate in the regulation of KCNE1-dependent transport and excitability
  • interacting with TP53 (down-regulates the expression of TP53 by enhancing its mono- and polyubiquitylation)
  • target of the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) and is central to the stress response in many human tissues
  • TSC22D3 and SGK1
  • is a powerful stimulator of ORAI1 protein abundance
  • SGK1, SGK2, SGK3 are novel potent stimulators of SLC6A19 and may thus participate in the regulation of neutral amino acid transport
  • synergize to markedly stimulate SCNN1A surface expression, by antagonizing the effects of the inhibitory components)
  • is essential for hormonal regulation of SCNN1A-mediated sodium transport and is involved in the transduction of growth-factor-dependent cell survival and proliferation
  • specific interaction between SGK1 and ASPG
  • MAPKAP1 mediates SGK1 protein interaction with CRTC2 protein complex and is required for selective activation of the epithelial sodium channel
  • thrombin decreases SGK1 mRNA and enhances SGK1 protein
  • CNKSR3 physically interacts with SCNN1A, B, D, NEDD4L, and SGK1 and stimulates SCNN1A, SCNN1B, SCNN1D function in a PDZ domain-dependent, aldosterone-induced manner
  • enhances the expression level of mature KCNH2 channels by inhibiting NEDD4L as well as by promoting RAB11-mediated KCNH2 recycling (PMMID: 23589291)
  • specific role of ASPG as an interacting partner of the serum- and glucocorticoid-induced serine/threonine protein kinase SGK1, an enzyme involved in various cell proliferation pathways
  • SGK1 phosphorylates SHANK2 as well as a peptide containing the first SGK1 consensus motif of SHANK2
  • glucocorticoid-induced increase in CFTR abundance requires phosphorylation of SHANK2 at an SGK1 consensus site
  • SGK1-induced hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes involves CDKN1B phosphorylation at T197, which fosters cytoplasmic CDKN1B localization
  • regulation of GRIK2 by SGK1 and NDRG2 in astrocytes may play an important role in gliotransmission, modulation of gene expression and regulation of exocytosis of tissue-type plasminogen activator (tPA)
  • MTA1 is a novel corepressor of serum and glucocorticoid-inducible kinase 1 (SGK1)
