OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases. This kinase contains a kinase catalytic domain and phosphorylates the S6 ribosomal protein and eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4B (eIF4B). Phosphorylation of S6 leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against RPS6KB2 can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads RPS6KB2 as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against RPS6KB2 could matter depends on whether native RPS6KB2 is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

RPS6KB2 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 RPS6KB2 as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.
