Decoy receptor 2 (DCR2), also known asTRAIL receptor 4 (TRAILR4) andtumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 10D (TNFRSF10D), is a humancell surface receptor of theTNF-receptor superfamily.[3][4][5]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of theTNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor contains anextracellular TRAIL-binding domain, a transmembrane domain, and a truncatedcytoplasmic death domain.
Thisreceptor does not induceapoptosis, and has been shown to play an inhibitory role in TRAIL-induced cell apoptosis.[5]
