Reactions in pathway: RIP-mediated NFkB activation via ZBP1 :

RIP-mediated NFkB activation via ZBP1

Overexpression of human or murine ZBP1 (DAI) in human embryonic kidney 293T cells (HEK293T) activated NF-kB-dependent promoter in a dose-dependent manner. Two RHIM-contaning kinases RIP1 and RIP3 are implicated in ZBP1-induced NFkB activation (Rebsamen M et al 2009; Kaiser WJ et al 2008).

Innate Immune System

Innate immunity encompases the nonspecific part of immunity tha are part of an individual's natural biologic makeup

Immune System

Humans are exposed to millions of potential pathogens daily, through contact, ingestion, and inhalation. Our ability to avoid infection depends on the adaptive immune system and during the first critical hours and days of exposure to a new pathogen, our innate immune system.
