EDAR, also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member EDAR, is a single-pass type 1 transmembrane protein which is a member of TNF receptor superfamily. This protein was expressed reiteratively in signaling centers regulating key steps in morphogenesis. Also, it is a cell surface receptor for ectodysplasin A which plays an important role in the development of ectodermal tissues such as the skin. Also, defects in EDAR are a cause of ectodermal dysplasia anhidrotic (EDA), also known ectodermal dysplasia hypohidrotic autosomal recessive (HED). Ectodermal dysplasia defines a heterogeneous group of disorders due to abnormal development of two or more ectodermal structure.
