Function |
Essential for necroptosis, a programmed cell death process in response to death-inducing TNF-alpha family members. Upon induction of necrosis, RIPK3 interacts with, and phosphorylates RIPK1 and MLKL to form a necrosis-inducing complex. RIPK3 binds to and enhances the activity of three metabolic enzymes: GLUL, GLUD1, and PYGL. These metabolic enzymes may eventually stimulate the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, which could result in enhanced ROS production. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19498109, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19524512, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19524513, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22265413, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22265414, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22421439}.
