NCIt definition : A fully human monoclonal agonist antibody directed against the extracellular domain
of human TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) receptor
2 (TR-2) with potential antineoplastic activity. Conatumumab mimics the activity of
native TRAIL, binding to and activating TR-2, thereby activating caspase cascades
and inducing tumor cell apoptosis. TR-2 is expressed by a variety of solid tumors
and cancers of hematopoietic origin.;
