Background
This gene encodes a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. The encoded receptor has been shown to have increased expression upon T-cell activation, and it is thought to play a key role in dominant immunological self-tolerance maintained by CD25(+)CD4(+) regulatory T cells. Knockout studies in mice also suggest the role of this receptor is in the regulation of CD3-driven T-cell activation and programmed cell death. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene encoding distinct isoforms have been reported. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2011],
Function
function:Receptor for TNFSF18. Seems to be involved in interactions between activated T-lymphocytes and endothelial cells and in the regulation of T-cell receptor-mediated cell death. Mediated NF-kappa-B activation via the TRAF2/NIK pathway.,induction:Up-regulated in peripherical mononuclear cells after antigen stimulation/lymphocyte activation.,similarity:Contains 3 TNFR-Cys repeats.,subunit:Binds to TRAF1, TRAF2, and TRAF3, but not TRAF5 and TRAF6. Binds through its C-terminus to SIVA1/SIVA.,tissue specificity:Expressed in lymph node, peripheral blood leukocytes and weakly in spleen.,
