Structural highlights
Disease
[TNFL6_HUMAN] Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
[TNFL6_HUMAN] Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF6/FAS, a receptor that transduces the apoptotic signal into cells. May be involved in cytotoxic T-cell mediated apoptosis and in T-cell development. TNFRSF6/FAS-mediated apoptosis may have a role in the induction of peripheral tolerance, in the antigen-stimulated suicide of mature T-cells, or both. Binding to the decoy receptor TNFRSF6B/DcR3 modulates its effects.[1] The FasL intracellular domain (FasL ICD) cytoplasmic form induces gene transcription inhibition.[2]
