Immunopharmacology Comments
The protein product of the TNFRSF6B gene, known as decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), is a soluble endogenous receptor for three TNF family peptide ligands, LIGHT, TL1A and Fas ligand. DcR3 competes for ligand binding with death receptors. DcR3 suppresses LIGHT and FAS ligand induced apoptosis and T cell activation, and increases monocyte adhesion to endothelial cells via NF-κB activation [1]. DcR3 binding to TL1A induces angiogenesis [2]. These functions of DcR3 suggest it provides a connection between inflammation and cancer development.
