RIPK2-IN-1

A potent, selective receptor interacting protein-2 (RIP2) kinase inhibitor. (In Vitro) :GSK2983559 active metabolite is a novel prodrug of a quinazolyl amine that inhibits RIP2 kinase. Receptor interacting protein-2 (RIP2) kinase, which is also referred to as CARD3, RICK, CARDIAK, or RIPK2, is a TKL family serine/threonine protein kinase involved in innate immune signaling. RIP2 kinase is composed of an N-terminal kinase domain and a C-terminal caspase-recruitment domain (CARD) linked via an intermediate (IM) region. The CARD domain of RIP2 kinase mediates interaction with other CARD-containing proteins, such as NODI and NOD2. NODI and NOD2 are cytoplasmic receptors which play a key role in innate immune surveillance. They recognize both gram positive and gram negative bacterial pathogens and are activated by specific peptidoglycan motifs, diaminopimelic acid (i.e., DAP) and muramyl dipeptide.
