TNFRSF 6 B ( tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily , member 6 b , decoy )
نویسندگان
چکیده
DNA sequence is located on chromosome 20. Transcription consists of 7 exons and 6 introns, spanning 3.6kb. A shorter transcription variance (M68E) has been identified, and is transcribed from 3 exons and 2 introns spanning 1.9kb as illustrated above. The difference occurs at the 5' untranslated region, but the two transcripts encode the same isoform. Mice do not have a gene orthologue to human TNFRSF6B. TNFRSF68B mRNA in Northen blot presents as a 1.2knt band. Protein

Osteoprotegerin rich tumor microenvironment: implications in breast cancer
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a soluble decoy receptor for tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). It belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF). OPG was initially discovered to contribute to homeostasis of bone turnover due to its capability of binding to receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kB). However, apart from bone turnover, OP...
متن کامل‘Decoy’ and ‘non-decoy’ functions of DcR3 promote malignant potential in human malignant fibrous histiocytoma cells
Decoy receptor 3 (DcR3) is a soluble secreted protein that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. DcR3 inhibits the Fas ligand (FasL)/Fas apoptotic pathway by binding to FasL, competitively with Fas receptor. Previous studies have reported that overexpression of DcR3 has been detected in various human malignancies and that DcR3 functions as a 'decoy' for FasL to inhib...
متن کاملThe Roles of CD137 Signaling in Atherosclerosis
The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF), which includes CD40, LIGHT, and OX40, plays important roles in the initiation and progression of cardiovascular diseases, involving atherosclerosis. CD137, a member of TNFRSF, is a well-known activation-induced T cell co-stimulatory molecule and has been reported to be expressed in human atherosclerotic plaque lesions, and plays pivotal r...
متن کاملTumor necrosis factor superfamily in innate immunity and inflammation.
The tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF) and its corresponding receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) form communication pathways required for developmental, homeostatic, and stimulus-responsive processes in vivo. Although this receptor-ligand system operates between many different cell types and organ systems, many of these proteins play specific roles in immune system function. The TNFSF and TNFR...

Note RefSeq NP-002537.3; Size: 401 amino acids; 46040 Da; Subunit: Homodimer; Subcellular location: Secreted. Osteoprotegerin (OPG) was isolated independently by two laboratories in 1997 (Tsuda et al., 1997; Simonet et al., 1997), as being a protein that exhibits a protective effect on bone. OPG is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, which consists of proteins that evoke different signal ...
