OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the ribosomal S6 kinase family of serine/threonine kinases. The encoded protein responds to mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) signaling to promote protein synthesis, cell growth, and cell proliferation. Activity of this gene has been associated with human cancer. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been observed. The use of alternative translation start sites results in isoforms with longer or shorter N-termini which may differ in their subcellular localizations. There are two pseudogenes for this gene on chromosome 17. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2013]

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads RPS6KB1 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RPS6KB1 could matter depends on whether native RPS6KB1 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RPS6KB1 is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label RPS6KB1 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
