Structural highlights
Disease[TNFL6_HUMAN] Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Function[TNF6B_HUMAN] Decoy receptor that can neutralize the cytotoxic ligands TNFS14/LIGHT, TNFSF15 and TNFSF6/FASL. Protects against apoptosis.[1] [TNFL6_HUMAN] Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells. May be involved in cytotoxic T-cell mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development. TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. Binding to the decoy receptor TNFRSF6B/DcR3 modulates its effects.[2] The FasL intracellular domain (FasL ICD) cytoplasmic form induces gene transcription inhibition.[3] References
