Mouse Mlkl (Mixed lineage kinase domain-like protein) ELISA Kit

ELISA Type: Sandwich ELISA, Double Antibody. Detection Range: 31.25-2000µg/mL. Sensitivity: 18.75µg/mL. Sample Types: cell or tissue lysate, Other liquid samples. Protein function: Pseudokinase that plays a key role in TNF-induced necroptosis, a programmed cell death process (PubMed:23835476, PubMed:24012422, PubMed:24019532, PubMed:27321907, PubMed:32200799, PubMed:32296175). Does not have protein kinase activity (PubMed:24012422). Activated following phosphorylation by RIPK3, leading to homotrimerization, localization to the plasma membrane and execution of programmed necrosis characterized by calcium influx and plasma membrane damage (PubMed:23835476, PubMed:24012422, PubMed:24019532, PubMed:27321907). 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 (PubMed:32200799, PubMed:32296175). Binds to highly phosphorylated inositol phosphates such as inositolhexakisphosphate (InsP6) which is essential for its necroptotic function. [The UniProt Consortium]
