Description
Product Characteristics:
TROY is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. This receptor is highly expressed during embryonic development. It has been shown to interact with TRAF family members, and to activate the JNK signaling pathway when overexpressed in cells. This receptor is capable of inducing apoptosis by a caspase-independent mechanism, and it is thought to play an essential role in embryonic development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane
Synonyms: TROY, TAJ alpha, TAJ, TNFRSF 19, TNFRSF19, Tnfrsf20, Toxicity and JNK inducer, TRADE, Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 19.
