NCIt definition : Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (540 aa, 61 kDa) is encoded
by the human RIPK2 gene. This protein is involved in protein phosphorylation, apoptosis
and inflammation.;
NCIt note : Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 also has tyrosine kinase activity.
(UniProt); Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 contains 1 CARD domain, activates
NF-Kappa B and potentiates apoptosis by activating pro-caspase-1 and pro-caspase-8.
RIPK2 binds to BIRC3/c-IAP1, BIRC2/c-IAP2, TRAF1, TRAF2, TRAF5, and TRAF6 and binds
to CFLAR/CLARP and CASP1 via their CARD domains. RIPK2 may be a component of the TNFRSF1A
and TNRFSF5/CD40 receptor complexes.;
