NCIt definition : Human RPS6KB2 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 11q13.1 and is approximately
7 kb in length. This allele, which encodes ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2 protein,
plays a role in protein synthesis via the phosphorylation of ribosomal protein 6.
The RPS6KB2 gene is overexpressed in certain cancers such as adenocarcinomas of the
breast and endometrium.;
NCIt note : The RPS6KB2 gene undergoes alternative splicing to yield two transcript variants and
two corresponding isoforms of ribosomal protein S6 kinase 2 protein.;
