TNFRSF21

Basics

Aliases:
This biomarker is also known as:
  • DR6,
  • CD_antigen=CD358,
  • death receptor 6,
  • UNQ437/PRO868,
  • tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 21,

Description…

TNFRSF21, a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily and a single-pass type I membrane protein, has been shown to activate NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK, and induce cell apoptosis. Through its death domain, this receptor interacts with TRADD protein, which is known to serve as an adaptor that mediates signal transduction of TNF-receptors. TNFRSF21 is required for both normal cell body death and axonal pruning. Knockout studies in mice suggested that this gene plays a role in T-helper cell activation, and may be involved in inflammation and immune regulation.
