Direct interactions between RIPK3 and enzymes, such as the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH), glutamate-ammonia ligase (GLUL), glutamate dehydrogenase 1 (GLUD1), and glycogen phosphorylase L (PYGL), can enhance energy metabolism and promote mitochondrial ROS production, thereby augmenting necroptosis in cervical adenocarcinoma and colon cancer cells [134]. Here, GLUL is linked to malignant colon neoplasm.
