Component of the 40S small ribosomal subunit (PubMed:23636399, PubMed:8706699). Plays an important role in controlling cell growth and proliferation through the selective translation of particular classes of mRNA (PubMed:17220279). Part of the small subunit (SSU) processome, first precursor of the small eukaryotic ribosomal subunit. During the assembly of the SSU processome in the nucleolus, many ribosome biogenesis factors, an RNA chaperone and ribosomal proteins associate with the nascent pre-rRNA and work in concert to generate RNA folding, modifications, rearrangements and cleavage as well as targeted degradation of pre-ribosomal RNA by the RNA exosome (PubMed:34516797).

Replenishment batches of our polyclonal antibody, ab40820 are tested in WB. Previous batches were additionally validated in ICC/IF and IHC-P. These applications are still expected to work and are covered by our Abpromise guarantee. You may also be interested in our alternative recombinant antibody, ab225676.
RPS6 also known as Ribosomal Protein S6 is a component of the 40S ribosomal subunit with a molecular weight of approximately 28 kDa. This protein mainly localizes in the cytoplasm where ribosomes are fixed during protein synthesis. The ribosomal machinery uses RPS6 to translate mRNA into polypeptides operating as an essential part of protein biosynthesis. It expresses in various tissues with higher levels in highly proliferative cells which need extensive protein production for growth.
RPS6 is integral to the formation of the ribosomal complex. This complex is essential for the translation initiation process. RPS6 controls the translation capacity of ribosomes and functions in growth and development by regulating protein synthesis rates. Alterations in RPS6 activity can impact cellular growth and size due to its role in ribosome biogenesis.
RPS6 plays a significant role in the mTOR and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways. These pathways link nutrient availability to protein synthesis influencing cellular growth and metabolism. RPS6 interacts with proteins like S6K1 which is a downstream target in the mTOR pathway to modulate translation and cell growth processes.
RPS6 has connections to cancer and metabolic syndromes. Abnormal RPS6 activation can lead to dysregulated cell growth contributing to oncogenesis. In the context of cancer mTOR signaling where RPS6 functions is often upregulated leading to uncontrolled proliferation. Moreover in metabolic disorders the disrupted pathway activity involves other proteins like AKT fostering insulin resistance and metabolic imbalance.

IHC image of RPS6 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded normal human skin melanoma* performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20mins. The section was then incubated with ab40820, 5ug/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.
For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
