Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables protein serine/threonine kinase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to muramyl dipeptide; immune response-activating signaling pathway; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cytokine production; positive regulation of signal transduction; and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton; cytosol; and vesicle. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Orthologous to human RIPK2 (receptor interacting serine/threonine kinase 2).
