TNFRSF10B (Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily Member 10b)

TNFRSF10B, also known as DR5, is a protein found on the surface of some cells. It plays a key role in the body's immune system by helping to regulate cell death, especially in cancer cells. When certain signals are received, TNFRSF10B can trigger a process called apoptosis, which is a controlled way for the body to eliminate damaged or unwanted cells. This function is important for maintaining healthy tissue and preventing cancer growth. Researchers are studying TNFRSF10B to develop therapies that can target cancer cells by activating this cell death pathway.
