Entrez gene ID6196
Official gene symbolRPS6KA2
Full nameribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kDa, polypeptide 2
Aliases,HU-2,MAPKAPK1C,RSK,RSK3,S6K-alpha,S6K-alpha2,p90-RSK3,pp90RSK3,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 non-identical 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.
