RPS6KA3 ribosomal protein S6 kinase A3

Gene ID: 6197, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CLS; RSK; HU-3; RSK2; MRX19; ISPK-1; XLID19; p90-RSK2; pp90RSK2; MAPKAPK1B; S6K-alpha3

Summary

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. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Coffin-Lowry syndrome (CLS).
