ribosomal protein S6 kinase A1(RPS6KA1) Homo sapiens 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,caution:The sequence shown here is derived from an Ensembl automatic analysis pipeline and should be considered as preliminary data.,cofactor:Magnesium.,enzyme regulation:Activated by multiple phosphorylations on threonine and serine residues.,function:Serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in mediating the growth-factor and stress induced activation of the transcription factor CREB.,PTM:Autophosphorylated on Ser-380, as part of the activation process.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily.,similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. S6 kinase subfamily.,similarity:Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain.,similarity:Contains 2 protein kinase domains.,subunit:Forms a complex with either ERK1 or ERK2 in quiescent cells. Transiently dissociates following mitogenic stimulation.,
