Rps6kb1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; long-chain fatty acid import into cell; and negative regulation of TORC2 signaling. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; cellular response to dexamethasone stimulus; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; leg muscle; reproductive system; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RPS6KB1 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1). [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 mouse Rps6kb1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
