Anti-RIP/RIPK1 Antibody Picoband® Fluoro550 Conjugated

RIPK1, also known as RIP or RIP1, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RIPK1 gene. It is mapped to 6p25.2. RIPK1 is a key signaling molecule in the programmed necrosis pathway, which plays important roles in development, tissue damage response, and antiviral immunity. RIPK1 is known to have function in a variety of cellular pathways including the NF-κ B pathway and programmed necrotic cell death (necroptosis) . The kinase domain, while important for necroptotic (programmed necrotic) functions, it appears dispensable for other lethal, as well as pro-survival roles. Also, proteolytic processing of RIPk1, through both caspase-dependent and -independent mechanisms, triggers lethality that is dependent on the generation of one or more specific C-terminal cleavage product (s) of RIPk1 upon stress.

Serine-threonine kinase which transduces inflammatory and cell-death signals (programmed necrosis) following death receptors ligation, activation of pathogen recognition receptors (PRRs), and DNA damage. Upon activation of TNFR1 by the TNF-alpha family cytokines, TRADD and TRAF2 are recruited to the receptor. Phosphorylates DAB2IP at 'Ser-728' in a TNF-alpha-dependent manner, and thereby activates the MAP3K5-JNK apoptotic cascade. Ubiquitination by TRAF2 via 'Lys-63'-link chains acts as a critical enhancer of communication with downstream signal transducers in the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway and the NF-kappa-B pathway, which in turn mediate downstream events including the activation of genes encoding inflammatory molecules. Polyubiquitinated protein binds to IKBKG/NEMO, the regulatory subunit of the IKK complex, a critical event for NF-kappa-B activation. Interaction with other cellular RHIM-containing adapters initiates gene activation and cell death. RIPK1 and RIPK3 association, in particular, forms a necrosis-inducing complex. .
