TRAIL

Function

TRAIL (TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) or TNF ligand superfamily 10 functions as a ligand in the process of apoptosis^[1]. TRAIL binds to death receptors DR4, DR5, DcR1 and DcR2. For details see Molecular Playground/TRAIL. (1d0g). .

Disease

TRAIL concentrations are reduced in rheumatoid arthritis^[2].

Human TRAIL trimer residues 114-281 (grey, light green, yellow) complex with death receptor-5 extracellular domain (dark blue, dark green, olive), Zn+2 (grey) and Cl-1 (green) ions, 1d0g
