DR5 is 55kD member 10B of the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF10B), also known as TRAIL-R2, TRICK2, KILLER, and CD262. It binds the cytotoxic ligand TRAIL and induces apoptosis. The DR5 receptor is broadly expressed on a variety of normal tissues and many tumors. DR5 expression has been reported to be upregulated in human cells by interferon-a, 2-methoxyestradiol, and paclitaxel, and downregulated by adenoviral E3 proteins.
