Gene information for TNFRSF6B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID8771
Official gene symbolTNFRSF6B
Full nametumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 6b, decoy
Aliases,DCR3,DJ583P15.1.1,M68,TR6,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily. The encoded protein is postulated to play a regulatory role in suppressing FasL- and LIGHT-mediated cell death. It acts as a decoy receptor that competes with death receptors for ligand binding. Overexpression of this gene has been noted in gastrointestinal tract tumors, and it is located in a gene-rich cluster on chromosome 20, with other potentially tumor-related genes. Two transcript variants encoding the same isoform, but differing in the 5' UTR, have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
