Gene:
ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kDa, polypeptide 1
Gene ID:
198584
Symbol:
RPS6KA1
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 nonidentical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates various substrates, including members of the mitogen-activated kinase (MAPK) signalling pathway. The activity of this protein has been implicated in controlling cell growth and differentiation. Alternate transcriptional splice variants, encoding different isoforms, have been characterized.
