TNFRSF10B TNF receptor superfamily member 10b

Gene ID: 8795, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DR5; CD262; KILLER; TRICK2; TRICKB; ZTNFR9; TRAILR2; TRICK2A; TRICK2B; TRAIL-R2; KILLER/DR5

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, and contains an intracellular death domain. This receptor can be activated by tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TNFSF10/TRAIL/APO-2L), and transduces an apoptosis signal. Studies with FADD-deficient mice suggested that FADD, a death domain containing adaptor protein, is required for the apoptosis mediated by this protein. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms and one non-coding transcript have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]
