Gene: MLKL
Official Full Name: mixed lineage kinase domain like pseudokinaseprovided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. The encoded protein contains a protein kinase-like domain; however, is thought to be inactive because it lacks several residues required for activity. This protein plays a critical role in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced necroptosis, a programmed cell death process, via interaction with receptor-interacting protein 3 (RIP3), which is a key signaling molecule in necroptosis pathway. Inhibitor studies and knockdown of this gene inhibited TNF-induced necrosis. High levels of this protein and RIP3 are associated with inflammatory bowel disease in children. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

MLKL Gene Knockout Cell Lines are genetically modified cell lines that have undergone targeted disruption of the Mixed Lineage Kinase Domain-Like protein (MLKL) gene. MLKL is a crucial component of the cellular mechanism that mediates necroptosis, a form of programmed cell death distinct from apoptosis. The knockout of the MLKL gene allows researchers to study the downstream effects of necroptosis and understand its role in various physiological and pathological contexts, including inflammation, neurodegeneration, and tumorigenesis.
These cell lines possess unique functionalities that are essential for elucidating MLKL-related cell death pathways. By observing how cells behave in the absence of MLKL, researchers gain insights into the molecular mechanisms underpinning necroptosis, including the activation of receptor-interacting protein kinases (RIPKs) and associated inflammatory responses. Furthermore, the MLKL Gene Knockout Cell Lines can be instrumental in screening potential therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating necroptosis, thereby offering prospects for treatment strategies against conditions like cancer and autoimmune diseases.
The scientific relevance of these cell lines extends into both research and clinical applications. They serve as valuable tools for biologists studying cell signaling pathways, pharmacologists testing new drugs, and clinicians exploring novel therapies targeting cell death mechanisms. The unique advantage of MLKL Gene Knockout Cell Lines over traditional cell models lies in their specificity, providing a clearer view of the pathways and effects associated with necroptosis without interference from other apoptotic processes.
By leveraging MLKL Gene Knockout Cell Lines, researchers and clinicians can enhance their understanding of cellular death mechanisms, which is vital for advancing the development of targeted therapies. These cell lines not only facilitate innovative research but also offer promising avenues for translational medicine.
