ribosomal protein S6 kinase A6(RPS6KA6) Homo sapiens This gene encodes a member of ribosomal S6 kinase family, serine-threonine 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010],catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein.,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-389, as part of the activation process.,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.,
