Name: necroptotic process
Synonyms: activation of necroptosis, activation of necroptosis by extracellular signals, activation of necroptosis in response to extracellular signals, activation of necroptosis of activated-T cells, establishment of necroptosis, establishment of necroptosis of activated-T cells, extracellular signal-induced necroptosis, induction of necroptosis, induction of necroptosis by extracellular signals, induction of necroptosis of activated-T cells, necroptosis, PARP-dependent cell death, parthanatos, programmed necrosis, programmed necrotic cell death, RIPK1-mediated regulated necrosis, TNF-induced necroptosis
Definition: A programmed necrotic cell death process which begins when a cell receives a signal (e.g. a ligand binding to a death receptor or to a Toll-like receptor), and proceeds through a series of biochemical events (signaling pathways), characterized by activation of receptor-interacting serine/threonine-protein kinase 1 and/or 3 (RIPK1/3, also called RIP1/3) and by critical dependence on mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL), and which typically lead to common morphological features of necrotic cell death. The process ends when the cell has died. The process is divided into a signaling phase, and an execution phase, which is triggered by the former.
