Background

Raf kinase inhibitor protein (RKIP) is a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family, and modulates the activation of several signal transduction cascades. By binding the MAP3K Raf-1, unphosphorylated RKIP inhibits activation of the MAP2K MEK. PKC-phosphorylated RKIP dissociates from Raf‑1 and inhibits GRK2, resulting in sustained G-protein signaling. Expressed in many tissues, RKIP is implicated in the regulation of such physiological processes as membrane biosynthesis, spermatogenesis, neural development, and metastasis suppression.
