Abstract:

Receptor-interacting protein(RIP)kinases are key regulators that mediate cell death signals and inflammatory responses,and play vital roles in regulating immune responses and maintaining organism homeostasis. RIP kinases are involved in different biological processes such as cell death,inflammatory responses,and innate immunity in mammals. However,fish is an important group of vertebrates and our knowledge about the function of RIP kinases in fish is still limited. Therefore,this article mainly reviews the molecular structure,mediated signaling pathways and mechanisms of RIP family members,as well as the research progress of that in teleost fish,aiming to lay a foundation for deeply understanding immune responses and resistance mechanisms in fish as well as in mammals.

Key words: receptor-interacting protein, innate immunity, cell death, inflammatory response
