NCIt definition : Human TNFRSF8 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p36 and is approximately
81 kb in length. This allele, which encodes tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily
member 8 protein, plays a role in the modulation of both the nuclear factor kappa-B
signal pathway and leukocyte transformation. The gene is involved in the activation
of lymphoid cells in Hodgkin disease.;
NCIt note : The TNFRSF8 gene is expressed as two isoforms that are produced by alternative initiation.
One isoform has a transmembrane domain and the other is a cytoplasmic protein. (SwissProt);
