Description
Product Characteristics: Ribosomal protein S6 kinase alpha-2 (S6K-alpha-2):90 kDa ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2 (p90-RSK 2, p90RSK2):MAP kinase-activated protein kinase 1c (MAPK-activated protein kinase 1c, MAPKAP kinase 1c, MAPKAPK-1c):Ribosomal S6 kinase 3 (RSK-3):pp90RSK3:RPS6KA2:MAPKAPK1C:RSK3
Target Information: This 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.
