Abstract
Serum and glucocorticoid-regulated kinase 1 (SGK1), a member of the AGC family of serine/threonine protein kinases, is one of the most conserved protein kinases in eukaryotic evolution. SGK1 is expressed to varying degrees in various types of cells throughout the body, and plays an important role in hypertension, ion channels, oxidative stress, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular regulation. In recent years, a number of scholars have devoted themselves to the study of the role and function of SGK1 in neurological diseases. Therefore, this article reviews the role of SGK1 in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, stroke and other neurological diseases in recent years, and puts forward some insights on the role of SGK1 in neurological diseases and its relationship with disease activities.
