Rps6ka2

Predicted to enable protein serine/threonine/tyrosine kinase activity and ribosomal protein S6 kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including TORC1 signaling; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process; oocyte maturation; and regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in meiotic spindle and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Orthologous to human RPS6KA2 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase A2).

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 Rps6ka2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
