Tumor necrosis factor receptor
From Wikidoc - Reading time: 3 min
Overview
[edit | edit source]A tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) is, as its name would indicate, a receptor which binds tumor necrosis factors (TNF).
Because "TNF" is often used to describe TNF alpha, "TNFR" is often used to describe the receptors that bind to TNF alpha - namely, CD120. However, there several other members of this family that bind to the other TNFs.[1][2]
