Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 6B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF6B gene.[1][2][3]

This 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.[3]

Interactions

TNFRSF6B has been shown to interact with TNFSF14[2][4][5] and Fas ligand.[1][2][5]
