TNF-Related Apoptosis-Inducing Ligand Receptor 3
Tumor Necrosis Factor-related Apoptosis-inducing Ligand Receptor 3 (TRAIL-R3) is also called DcR1 (decoy receptor 1). In the new TNF nomenclature, TRAIL-R3 is referred to as TNFRSF10C. TRAIL-R3 lacks the TRAIL intracellular signaling domain, thus the binding of TRAIL to TRAIL-R3 does not transduce an apoptosis signal. TRAIL-R3 may protect cells against TRAIL mediated apoptosis by competing with TRAIL-R1 and R2 for binding to the ligand.
