Additional MLKL functions below sea level. In addition to its well-known function as a molecule that disrupts plasma membrane integrity to exert necroptosis, MLKL has non-canonical functions that can be divided into the three categories: cross-linking with other regulated cell death (RCD) mediators, translocating to the nucleus to alter gene expression and binding to select lipids to damage bacteria or inhibit a specific metabolic process.
