Protein kinase similar to S/T protein kinase Ypk1p; functionally redundant with YPK1 at the genetic level; participates in a signaling pathway required for optimal cell wall integrity; involved in the TORC-dependent phosphorylation of ribosomal proteins Rps6a/b (S6); human homolog SGK2 can complement a ypk1 ypk2 double mutant
