Description

Tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 (TNFR1) belongs to the tumor necrosis factor superfamily, and is one of the major TNF-alpha receptors. This receptor plays an important role in mediating apoptosis. TNFR1 also plays an important role in cytokine mediated signaling, positive regulation of the NF-Kb pathway, positive regulation of angiogenesis, and negative regulation of gene expression. The extracellular domain of the receptor is also released into the circulatory system as soluble TNFR1 (sTNFR1). In humans, the TNFR1 gene is located on chromosome 12.
