Description
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 21 (TNFRSF21) is also known as death receptor 6 (DR6), which is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. TNFRSF21 contains one death domain and four TNFR-Cys repeats. TNFRSF21 / DR6 has been shown to activate NF-κB and MAPK8/JNK, and induce cell apoptosis. Through its death domain, this receptor interacts with TRADD protein, which is known to serve as an adaptor that mediates signal transduction of TNF-receptors
