Full name: ribosomal protein S6 kinase C1

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: RPK118; RSKL1; S6K-delta-1; S6PKh1; humS6PKh1

Summary: Sphingosine kinase catalyzes the formation of sphingosine 1 phosphate, a lipid cellular messenger. The protein encoded by this gene can bind to sphingosine kinase and to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, suggesting a role in sphingosine 1 phophate signaling. The encoded protein can also bind to peroxiredoxin-3 and may help transport it to mitochondria. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]
