Gene: TNFRSF14
Alternate names for this Gene: ATAR|CD270|HVEA|HVEM|LIGHTR|TR2
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the TNF (tumor necrosis factor) receptor superfamily. The encoded protein functions in signal transduction pathways that activate inflammatory and inhibitory T-cell immune response. It binds herpes simplex virus (HSV) viral envelope glycoprotein D (gD), mediating its entry into cells. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p36.32
Description of this Gene: TNF receptor superfamily member 14
Type of Gene: protein-coding
