NCIt definition : Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9 is encoded by the human
TNFRSF9 gene. This protein plays a role in both activation-induced cell death (AICD)
of T-lymphocytes and negative feedback control of inflammation.;
NCIt note : Expression of soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 9 (sTNFRSF9)
does not result from proteolytic processing of the full-length membrane-bound TNFRSF9
but appears to result from the translation of alternatively spliced TNFRSF9 mRNAs.
