Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 19, also known asTNFRSF19 andTROY is a humangene.[5]
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is highly expressed during embryonic development. It has been shown to interact withTNF receptor associated factor (TRAF) family members, and to activatec-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) signaling pathway when overexpressed in cells. This receptor is capable of inducingapoptosis by acaspase-independent mechanism, and it is thought to play an essential role in embryonic development. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinctisoforms have been described.[5]
