Biology:RPS6KA6

Short description: Protein found in humans

Generic protein structure example

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase, 90kDa, polypeptide 6 is a protein in humans that is encoded by the RPS6KA6 gene.

This gene encodes a member of ribosomal S6 kinase family, serine-threonin protein kinases which are regulated by growth factors. The encoded protein may be distinct from other members of this family, however, as studies suggest it is not growth factor dependent and may not participate in the same signaling pathways.
