Death Receptor Activation-Induced Hepatocyte Apoptosis and Liver Injury
1 Sept 2003
Abstract excerpt
The TNFalpha receptor super-family consists of several members sharing a sequence homology in a unique function domain, the death domain, which is located in the intracellular portion of the receptor. These so-called death receptors, including Fas, TNF-R1 and TRAIL-R1/TRAIL-R2, are expressed on hepatocytes. When stimulated by their ligands, FasL, TNFalpha or TRAIL, respectively, the death receptors can activate...
