Entrez gene ID10913
Official gene symbolEDAR
Full nameectodysplasin A receptor
Aliases,DL,ED1R,ED3,ED5,EDA-A1R,EDA1R,EDA3,FLJ94390,HRM1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. The encoded transmembrane protein is a receptor for the soluble ligand ectodysplasin A, and can activate the nuclear factor-kappaB, JNK, and caspase-independent cell death pathways. It is required for the development of hair, teeth, and other ectodermal derivatives. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant and recessive forms of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
