Recombinant Human Ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-2 (RPS6KB2), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9UBS0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

RPS6KB2

Target Full Name

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-2

Target Function

Phosphorylates specifically ribosomal protein S6. Seems to act downstream of mTOR signaling in response to growth factors and nutrients to promote cell proliferation, cell growth and cell cycle progression in an alternative pathway regulated by MEAK7.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family, S6 kinase subfamily

Target Research Area

Signal Transduction

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains a kinase catalytic domain and phosphorylates the S6 ribosomal protein and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B (eIF4B). Phosphorylation of S6 leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation.
