NCIt definition : Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 8 ( 85 kDa) is encoded by
the human TNFRSF8 gene. This enzymatically processed protein may be involved in the
inhibition of tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 8 (CD30 ligand) binding
to its cell surface-localized receptor.;
NCIt note : Elevated levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 8 may
be a marker for tumor burden or graft rejection.; Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 8 results from proteolytic
processing of the full-length membrane-bound tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily
member 8 protein by disintegrin and metalloproteinase domain-containing protein 17.
