Synthetic peptide corresponding to the extracellular domain sequence, aa68-94, APQQKRSSPSEGLCPPGHHISEDGRDC, of human TRAIL-R2.
CD262, otherwise known as DR5/TRAIL-R2, is a broadly expressed death domain containing receptor and member of the TNF-receptor superfamily, which acts as a mediator for CD253/TRAIL induced apoptosis in a variety of tumor and transformed cells, but not in normal cells. Expression of CD262 is regulated by tumor suppressor p53, and CD262 is highly expressed by tumor cell lines. Studies suggest that the death domain containing adaptor protein FADD, is required for CD262-mediated apoptosis, and that FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor.
