MSK2 (phospho Thr568) Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

Ribosomal protein S6 kinase A4 (RPS6KA4) Homo sapiens 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 CREB1 and ATF1. The encoded protein can also phosphorylate histone H3 to regulate certain inflammatory genes. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016], catalytic activity:ATP + a protein = ADP + a phosphoprotein., cofactor:Magnesium., enzyme regulation:Appears to be activated by multiple phosphorylations on threonine and serine residues. ERK1/2 and p38 kinases may play a role in this process., function:Serine/threonine kinase that may play a role in mediating the growth-factor and stress induced activation of the transcription factor CREB. Essential role in the control of RELA transcriptional activity in response to TNF. Phosphorylates 'Ser-10' of histone H3 in response to mitogenics, stress stimuli and epidemal growth-factor (EGF) and result in the transcriptional activation of several immediate early genes, including proto-oncogenes FOS and JUN (By similarity) . Mediates the mitogen- and stress-induced phosphorylation of high mobility group protein 14 (HMG-14) ., miscellaneous:Enzyme activity requires the presence of both kinase domains., similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily., similarity:Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. AGC Ser/Thr protein kinase family. S6 kinase subfamily., similarity:Contains 1 AGC-kinase C-terminal domain., similarity:Contains 2 protein kinase domains., subunit:Forms a complex with either ERK1 or ERK2 in quiescent cells which transiently dissociates following mitogenic stimulation. Also associates with MAPK14/p38-alpha. Activated RPS6KA4 associates with and phosphorylates the NF-kappa-B p65 subunit RELA.
