Gene: RIPK1
Alternate names for this Gene: AIEFL|IMD57|RIP|RIP-1|RIP1
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the receptor-interacting protein (RIP) family of serine/threonine protein kinases. The encoded protein plays a role in inflammation and cell death in response to tissue damage, pathogen recognition, and as part of developmental regulation. RIPK1/RIPK3 kinase-mediated necrosis is referred to as necroptosis. Genetic disruption of this gene in mice results in death shortly after birth.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 6
Location in Chromosome : 6p25.2
Description of this Gene: receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
