RSK are '''R'''ibosomal '''S'''6 '''K'''inases, phosphorylating the S6 subunit of the cytoplasmic ribosome, and so controlling the rate of protein translation.

Three subfamilies of RSK are seen in most animals: 
====[[Kinase_Subfamily_RSKp90|Subfamily RSKp90]]====
====[[Kinase_Subfamily_MSK|Subfamily MSK]]====
====[[Kinase_Subfamily_RSKp70|Subfamily RSKp70]]====

The RSK and MSK subfamilies have two kinase domains, one from the [[Kinase_Group_AGC|AGC]] group and the other from the [[Kinase_Group_CAMK|CAMK]] group, while p70S6K have a single AGC-group domain.
