RPS6KB2, STK14B, Ribosomal protein S6 kinase beta-2, 70kD ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2, S6 kinase-related kinase, Serine/threonine-protein kinase 14B, p70 ribosomal S6 kinase beta

RPS6KB2 is a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains 2 nonidentical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates the S6 ribosomal protein and eucaryotic translation initiation factor 4B. Phosphorylation of S6 leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation.
