NCIt definition : Human RIPK1 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 6p25.2 and is approximately
37 kb in length. This allele, which encodes receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein
kinase 1 protein, is involved in positive regulation of apoptosis and activation of
the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. The RIPK1 gene is down-regulated in mantle cell
lymphomas.;
NCIt note : The RIPK1 gene plays a critical role in DNA damage-induced, p53-independent cell death.;
