Receptor-Interacting Serine-Threonine Kinase 3 (RIPK3) ELISA Kit for Human

The product of this gene is a member of the receptor-interacting protein (RIP) family of serine/threonine protein kinases, and contains a C-terminal domain unique from other RIP family members. The encoded protein is predominantly localized to the cytoplasm, and can undergo nucleocytoplasmic shuttling dependent on novel nuclear localization and export signals. It is a component of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor-I signaling complex, and can induce apoptosis and weakly activate the NF-kappaB transcription factor. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

RIPK3: Promotes apoptosis. Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. TKL Ser/Thr protein kinase family. Binds TRAF2 and RIPK1 and is recruited to the TNFR-1 signaling complex. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
