S6, also known as ribosomal protein S6, is a protein that plays a crucial role in the regulation of cell growth and proliferation. Research has shown that S6 is involved in various cellular processes, including protein synthesis, cell cycle progression, and apoptosis.
Elevated levels of S6 have been observed in many types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer.
S6 is a downstream target of the mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) signaling pathway, which is a key regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Activation of the mTOR pathway can lead to increased S6 activity, which can promote cancer cell growth and survival.
