Rps6ka3 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity and ribosomal protein S6 kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including TORC1 signaling; response to lipopolysaccharide; and toll-like receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Lowry syndrome; intellectual disability; and non-syndromic X-linked intellectual disability 19. Orthologous to human RPS6KA3 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase A3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Rps6ka3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
