Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to type II interferon; long-chain fatty acid import into cell; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; cellular response to hormone stimulus; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; early conceptus; leg muscle; reproductive system; and retina nuclear layer. Orthologous to human RPS6KB1 (ribosomal protein S6 kinase B1).
