Scientific Background: p70S6Kb is a member of the RSK (ribosomal S6 kinase) family of serine/threonine kinases and is activated by mitogenic stimuli, including growth factors, cytokines, and phorbol esters. p70S6Kb contains 2 nonidentical kinase catalytic domains and phosphorylates the S6 ribosomal protein and eucaryotic translation initiation factor 4B. Phosphorylation of S6 leads to an increase in protein synthesis and cell proliferation. PI3 kinase pathway and mTOR are involved in the activation of p70S6Kb but other pathways can also activate this target protein.
