Anti-RIPK2 antibody produced in rabbit

RIPK2 (receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase 2) is a member of the kinase family called RIP, which has seven members. It is an intracellular protein, and its C-terminal contains CARD (caspase activation and recruit domain). This gene is localized to human chromosome 8q21, and codes for a protein composed of 531 amino acids, and with a molecular weight of 61kDa. An alternatively spliced variant of this gene is called RIP2β, which lacks the C-terminal CARD and the intermediate region. It only contains a part of the kinase domain present at the N-terminal.

All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry.

The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link. We also provide Prestige Antibodies^® protocols and other useful information.

RIPK2 (receptor-interacting serine-threonine kinase 2) plays a role in both innate and adaptive immune pathways. It also interacts with T-cell receptor (TCR) complex, and is a part of the signaling pathway. It is a part of the Toll-like receptor (TLR), Nod, IL (interleukin)-1R receptors and IL-12 transduction pathways. Studies in Chinese population suggest that variants in this gene might be linked to susceptibility to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It stimulates the activity of caspase-8 and thus, promotes CD95-mediated apoptosis. It facilitates the maturation of IL-1β, by interacting with caspase-1. It is essential for the proliferation of keratinocytes. In glucocorticoid-treated patients, its expression is suppressed, which leads to decreased re-epithelialization of wounds. It plays a part in the tumorigenesis of human colon cancer, and might have potential as a marker for the aggressiveness of human colon cancer.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
