TNFRSF14 TNF receptor superfamily member 14

Gene ID: 8764, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TR2; ATAR; HVEA; HVEM; CD270; LIGHTR

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor superfamily. The encoded protein functions in signal transduction pathways that activate inflammatory and inhibitory T-cell immune response. It binds herpes simplex virus (HSV) viral envelope glycoprotein D (gD), mediating its entry into cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2014]
