MeSH definition : A transmembrane-protein belonging to the TNF family of intercellular signaling proteins.
It is a widely expressed ligand that activates APOPTOSIS by binding to TNF-RELATED
APOPTOSIS-INDUCING LIGAND RECEPTORS. The membrane-bound form of the protein can be
cleaved by specific CYSTEINE ENDOPEPTIDASES to form a soluble ligand form.;
MeSH synonym : apo 2 ligand; apoptosis-inducing ligand, tnf-related; tnf superfamily, member 10; trail protein; tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 10; apo-2 ligand; apo-2l protein; apo 2l protein; TNF related apoptosis inducing ligand; CD253 Antigen; Antigen, CD253;
