Anti-RPS6KB1 (Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase beta-1, S6K-beta-1, S6K1, 70kD Ribosomal Protein S6 Kinase

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 several residues of the S6 ribosomal protein. The kinase activity of this protein leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation. Amplification of the region of DNA encoding this gene and overexpression of this kinase are seen in some breast cancer cell lines. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA, Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: ELISA: 1:128,000, Western Blot: 0.2-1ug/ml, observed in human skeletal muscle and placenta lysates on ~65-70kD bands, Immunohistochemistry (Paraffin): 1-2ug/ml, Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
