The gene Akt1 is referred to in FlyBase by the symbol Dmel\Akt1 (CG4006, FBgn0010379). It is a protein_coding_gene from Drosophila melanogaster. There is experimental evidence that it has the molecular function: protein serine/threonine kinase activity; protein kinase activity. There is experimental evidence for 20 unique biological process terms, many of which group under: biological regulation; regulation of developmental process; cellular component organization or biogenesis; localization; open tracheal system development; regulation of neurogenesis; single-organism developmental process; regulation of growth; macromolecule modification; rhythmic process. 34 alleles are reported. The phenotypes of these alleles are annotated with: adult segment; organ system subdivision; organ system; thoracic segment; external compound sense organ; adult; synapse; tracheal branch primordium; sense organ; imaginal precursor. It has 3 annotated transcripts and 3 annotated polypeptides. Protein features are: AGC-kinase, C-terminal; Pleckstrin homology domain; Pleckstrin homology-like domain; Protein kinase, ATP binding site; Protein kinase, C-terminal; Protein kinase, catalytic domain; Protein kinase-like domain; Serine/threonine- / dual specificity protein kinase, catalytic domain; Serine/threonine-protein kinase, active site. Summary of modENCODE Temporal Expression Profile: Temporal profile ranges from a peak of moderately high expression to a trough of moderate expression. Peak expression observed within 00-18 hour embryonic stages, during late larval stages, at stages throughout the pupal period, in adult female stages. Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval salivary gland. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass. Comments on Affy2 ProbeSet: ProbeSet 1639064_s_at completely aligns to an exonic region common to each of the 3 FlyBase-annotated transcript isoforms of Akt1. Gene sequence location is 3R:11924938..11930239.

Three different size Akt1 protein species of 66, 85, and 120kD are observed on western blots. The 66kD species is most prominent and is detected at all stages with the highest levels in embryos and pupae. The 85kD species is similarly expressed though at a lower level but is not detected in larvae. The 120kD species is detected mainly in early embryos and early pupae.
The 4kb Akt1 transcripts are detected throughout embryogenesis and larval stages on northern blots. They are also detected in pupal stages and in adult females. Akt1 transcripts are uniformly distributed at a high level in embryos and are observed in nurse cells during oogenesis.
Akt1 protein is detected in extracts from early embryos, adults, and S2 cells by Western blot. By immunolocalization, Akt1 protein is found to be uniformly distributed in embryos.
Summary of FlyAtlas Anatomical Expression Data: Nearly all larval and adult tissues/organs expressed at moderate levels. Expression at high levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: larval salivary gland. Expression at moderate levels in the following post-embryonic organs or tissues: adult head, adult eye, larval/adult central nervous system, adult crop, larval/adult midgut, larval/adult hindgut, larval Malpighian tubules, adult heart, larval/adult fat body, adult salivary gland, larval trachea, adult female reproductive system, adult male accessory gland, larval/adult carcass.

This section lists
cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent

of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes.
Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs
to the gene model.
RNAi screen using dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene causes a phenotype when assayed in S2R+ cells: cells become retracted (unspread but flat). Kc167 cells are unaffected.
Mutants exhibit ectopic apoptosis during embryogenesis as judged by induction of membrane blebbing, DNA fragmentation and macrophage infiltration. Apoptosis caused by loss of Akt1 function is rescued by caspase suppression.
The autosomal "FLP-DFS" technique (using the P{ovoD1-18}P{FRT(whs)}P{hsFLP} chromosomes) has been used to identify the specific maternal effect phenotype for the zygotic lethal mutation.
