Official Full Name: ribosomal protein S6 kinase C1
Also known as: RSKL1; RPK118; S6PKh1; humS6PKh1; S6K-delta-1
Sphingosine kinase catalyzes the formation of sphingosine 1-phosphate, a lipid cell messenger. The gene encodes a protein that binds to sphingosine kinase and phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate, suggesting its involvement in sphingosine 1-phosphate signaling. The encoded protein also binds peroxiretoxin 3 and may help transport it to the mitochondria.
