    FAMILY
  • tumor necrosis factor receptor TNFR superfamily
  • CATEGORY receptor
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text type 1 transmembrane protein
    basic FUNCTION
  • specifically binding to the lymphotoxin membrane form and thus playing a role in the development and organization of lymphoid tissues and transformed cells
  • promoting apoptosis via TRAF3 and TRAF5
  • is required for liver regeneration, hepatitis and hepatic lipid metabolism (Tumanov 2007)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell life, cell death/apoptosis
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS development
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • self-associating
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with TRAF2 and TNFSF14 (TRAF2, an important effector molecule of TNF signaling, plays a critical, nonredundant role in TNFSF14-LTBR signaling)
  • interacts with HCV core protein
  • receptor for the heterotrimeric lymphotoxin containing LTA and LTB, and for TNFSF14
  • interacting with TRAF3, TRAF4, TRAF5
  • ZMYND11 abrogates LTBR function through a protein-protein interaction
  • cell & other

    ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • engagment of Ltbr by Tnfsf14 is essential for both intestinal inflammation and hyperserum IgA syndrome in a murine model that spontaneously develops T cell-mediated intestinal inflammation (Wang 2004)
