NCIt definition : Human RIPK3 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 14q11.2 and is approximately
4 kb in length. This allele, which encodes receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein
kinase 3 protein, is involved in the induction of apoptosis and activation of the
transcription factor NF-kappa-B.;
NCIt note : The RIPK3 gene is highly expressed in the pancreas. Lower levels of receptor-interacting
serine/threonine-protein kinase 3 protein are present in the heart, kidneys, lungs,
and placenta.;
