Anti-RIP3 antibody [RM1355]

Target data

Serine/threonine-protein kinase that activates necroptosis and apoptosis, two parallel forms of cell death (PubMed : 19524512, PubMed : 19524513, PubMed : 22265413, PubMed : 22265414, PubMed : 22421439, PubMed : 29883609, PubMed : 32657447). Necroptosis, a programmed cell death process in response to death-inducing TNF family members, is triggered by RIPK3 following activation by ZBP1 (PubMed : 19524512, PubMed : 19524513, PubMed : 22265413, PubMed : 22265414, PubMed : 22421439, PubMed : 29883609, PubMed : 32298652). Activated RIPK3 forms a necrosis-inducing complex and mediates phosphorylation of MLKL, promoting MLKL localization to the plasma membrane and execution of programmed necrosis characterized by calcium influx and plasma membrane damage (PubMed : 19524512, PubMed : 19524513, PubMed : 22265413, PubMed : 22265414, PubMed : 22421439, PubMed : 25316792, PubMed : 29883609). In addition to TNF-induced necroptosis, necroptosis can also take place in the nucleus in response to orthomyxoviruses infection : following ZBP1 activation, which senses double-stranded Z-RNA structures, nuclear RIPK3 catalyzes phosphorylation and activation of MLKL, promoting disruption of the nuclear envelope and leakage of cellular DNA into the cytosol (By similarity). Also regulates apoptosis : apoptosis depends on RIPK1, FADD and CASP8, and is independent of MLKL and RIPK3 kinase activity (By similarity). Phosphorylates RIPK1 : RIPK1 and RIPK3 undergo reciprocal auto- and trans-phosphorylation (PubMed : 19524513). In some cell types, also able to restrict viral replication by promoting cell death-independent responses (By similarity). In response to Zika virus infection in neurons, promotes a cell death-independent pathway that restricts viral replication : together with ZBP1, promotes a death-independent transcriptional program that modifies the cellular metabolism via up-regulation expression of the enzyme ACOD1/IRG1 and production of the metabolite itaconate (By similarity). Itaconate inhibits the activity of succinate dehydrogenase, generating a metabolic state in neurons that suppresses replication of viral genomes (By similarity). RIPK3 binds to and enhances the activity of three metabolic enzymes : GLUL, GLUD1, and PYGL (PubMed : 19498109). These metabolic enzymes may eventually stimulate the tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, which could result in enhanced ROS production (PubMed : 19498109).. (Microbial infection) In case of herpes simplex virus 1/HHV-1 infection, forms heteromeric amyloid structures with HHV-1 protein RIR1/ICP6 which may inhibit RIPK3-mediated necroptosis, thereby preventing host cell death pathway and allowing viral evasion.
