Mutation of the extracellular domain of tumour necrosis factor receptor 1 causes reduced NF‐κB activation due to decreased surface expression
31 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
Tumour necrosis factor receptor-associated periodic syndrome (TRAPS) results from point mutations in the extracellular domain of TNF receptor 1 (TNFRSF1A), but the effects of the mutations are controversial. This study shows that reduced NF-kappaB signalling is a feature of four TRAPS mutations. Reduced signalling correlates with reduced surface expression, measured by flow cytometry and microscopy. This suggests...
