Disease:Defects in TNFRSF10B may be a cause of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) [MIM:275355].,Function:Receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL. The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Promotes the activation of NF-kappa-B.,induction:TNFRSF10B is regulated by the tumor suppressor p53.,similarity:Contains 1 death domain.,similarity:Contains 3 TNFR-Cys repeats.,subunit:Homotrimer. Can interact with TRADD and RIP.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed in adult and fetal tissues; very highly expressed in tumor cell lines such as HeLa S3, K562, HL-60, SW480, A549 and G361; highly expressed in heart, peripheral blood lymphocytes, liver, pancreas, spleen, thymus, prostate, ovary, uterus, placenta, testis, esophagus, stomach and throughout the intestinal tract; not detectable in brain.,
