Serine/threonine-protein kinase Sgk2 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SGK2 gene.This gene encodes a serine/threonine protein kinase. Although this gene product is similar to serum- and glucocorticoid-induced protein kinase (SGK) this gene is not induced by serum or glucocorticoids. This gene is induced in response to signals that activate phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase which is also true for SGK. Two alternate transcripts encoding two different isoforms have been described.
