motifs/domains
  • two extracellular cysteine-rich pseudo repeats typical for TNFR superfamily
  • a preligand assembly domain (PLAD) in CRD1 mediating ligand-independent receptor assembly and signaling
  • a cytoplasmic tail lacking the DEATH domain
  • a TRAF-independent motif (IVVY(535-538), which is dispensable for the activation of TRAF-induced signaling pathways but essential for osteoclast lineage commitment
  • mono polymer homomer , trimer

    basic FUNCTION
  • intrinsic hematopoietic cell surface receptor
  • receptor activator of NFKB, involved in RANKL/RANK signaling
  • stimulator of JUN kinase
  • adaptor of TRAFs TNFR-associated factors,mediating osteoprotegerin ligand (TNFSF11) ligand effects for osteoclastogenesis and regulating bone mass and calcium metabolism
  • TNFRSF11A signaling pathway plays an important role in bone remodeling
  • role for TNFRSF11A/ERK-mediated signaling in normal osteoblasts chemotactic migration during bone remodeling that is altered or lost during osteosarcoma tumorigenesis
  • expression of TNFRSF11B, TNFRSF11A and TNFSF11 genes exert a crucial role in the progression of Femoral head avascular necrosis (AVN), suggesting their roles in mediating bone homeostasis and potential effects on bone destruction
  • potential role for TNFRSF11A, the corresponding gene of which is a direct binding target of KLF5, in tumour cell proliferation and invasiveness
  • may have different roles in skeletal development and metabolism
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism metal
    signaling signal transduction
    TNFSF11/TNFRSF11A signaling regulates osteoclast formation, activation and survival in normal bone modeling and remodeling and in a variety of pathologic conditions characterized by increased bone turnover
    a component
  • forms a complex with LYN, the tyrosine phosphatase, PTPN6, and the adapter protein, Grb2-associated binder 2 (GAB2)
  • involvement of the TNFRSF11A/TNFSF11/TNFRSF11B axis in osteosarcoma biology
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with TRAF6 at different sites and leading to NF-kappa B activation,via MAP3K14
  • interacting with TRAF2 and leading to JNK activation
  • interacting with TRAF5
  • expression of retro-viral receptor, XPR1, is regulated by TNFSF11-TNFRSF11A signaling
  • TNFSF11 and TNFRSF11A interaction acts through MEK/ERK, which in turn activates NFKB, resulting in the activation of ICAM1 and contributing to the migration of human lung cancer cells
  • SIGLEC15 links TNFSF11-TNFSFR11-NFATC1 signaling with ITAM-mediated intracellular signaling cascades during functional osteoclast development
  • FAM102A is a novel TNFRSF11A signaling component controlling TNFRSF11A-mediated osteoclast formation
  • TNFSF11, TNFRSF11A signalling pathway can be inhibited by cleavage of TNFRSF11A instead of targeting TNFSF11
  • interaction of TNFRSF11A, a member of the tumour necrosis factor receptor superfamily, with TNFSF11 is crucial for the formation, function and survival of osteoclasts
  • TNFRSF11A is also known as TNFSF11 receptor, and its signaling plays a critical role in osteoclastogenesis
  • interaction between TNFSF11 and its receptor TNFRSF11A is essential for the differentiation and bone resorbing capacity of the osteoclast
  • OSCAR-collagen interaction stimulates TNFRSF11A-dependent osteoclastogenesis
  • RELB is necessary for the effective production of downstream TNFRSF11A(+) mTEC (medullary Thymic epithelial cells) progenitors
  • role for TNFRSF11A as a key regulator of Ca(2+)storage and ATP2A1 activity, ultimately affecting denervated skeletal muscle function
  • TNFRSF11A recruits TRAF6 to TRAF6-binding sites (T6BSs) in the TNFRSF11A cytoplasmic tail (RANKcyto) to trigger downstream osteoclastogenic signaling cascades
  • VAV3 is a novel TRAF6 interaction partner that functions in the activation of cooperative signaling between TRAF6-binding sites (T6BSs) and the IVVY motif in the TNFRSF11A signaling complex
