Description

Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2 (EC 2.7.11.1, EC 2.7.10.2, UniProt O43353, also known as Receptor-interacting protein 2, CARD-carrying kinase, CARD-containing IL-1 beta ICE-kinase, CARD-containing interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme-associated kinase, Growth-inhibiting gene 30, Receptor-interacting protein-like interacting caspase-like apoptosis regulatory protein kinase, RIP-2, RIP-like interacting CLARP kinase, Tyrosine-protein kinase RIPK2) is encoded by the RIPK2 (also known as CARD3, CARDIAK, CCK, GIG30, RICK, RIP2) gene (Gene ID 8767) in human. RIPK2 is a dual-specificity kinase that exhibits both serine/threonine as well as tyrosine kinase activities. RIPK2 participates in transducing cellular inflammatory response by propagating signaling downstream of the intracellular peptidoglycan sensors NOD1 and NOD2.
