RIP2 Antibody

Western blot: 0.5-1ug/ml

The stated application concentrations are suggested starting amounts. Titration of the RIP2 antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.

Receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 2, also known as CARD3, CARDIAK, RICK, and RIP2, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RIPK2 gene. It has 540-amino acid protein in length. Northern blot analysis revealed that RIPK2 is expressed in various human tissues as 2.5- and 1.8-kb mRNAs that differ due to alternative polyadenylation. It is a novel kinase that may regulate apoptosis induced by the FAS receptor pathway. This gene encodes a member of the receptor-interacting protein (RIP) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein contains a C-terminalcaspase recruitment domain(CARD), and is a component of signaling complexes in both the innate and adaptive immune pathways. It is a potent activator of NF-kappa Band inducer of apoptosis in response to various stimuli, CARDIAK (CARD-containing ICE-associated kinase) specifically interacted with the CARD of ICE/caspase-1, and this interaction correlated with the processing of pro-caspase-1 and the formation of the active caspase-1 p20 subunit.
