Gene Information

Specificity

Apoptosis is induced by certain cytokines including TNF and Fas ligand in the TNF family through their death domain containing receptors. TRAIL/Apo2L is a new member of the TNF family. DR4 was recently identified as the receptor for TRAIL. A novel death domain containing receptor for TRAIL was more recently identified and designated DR5, Apo2, TRAIL-R2, TRICK2 or KILLER by several groups independently (Pan et al. 1997; Sheridan et al. 1997; Walczak et al. 1997; MacFarlane et al. 1997; Screaton et al. 1997; Wu et al. 1997; Chaudhary et al. 1997). Like DR4, DR5 transcript is widely expressed in normal tissues and in many types of tumor cells. DR5 binds to TRAIL and mediates TRAIL induced cell death. Overexpression of DR5 induces apoptosis and activates NF-kB.
