Background: IAP Inhibitors
Human decoy receptor 3 (DcR3), also called TNFRSF6B, TR6 and M68, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. The cDNA of DcR3 encodes a 300 amino acid (aa) polypeptide with a putative 23 aa signal peptide. Like osteoprotegerin (OPG), DcR3 lacks a transmembrane sequence and is a secreted protein. DcR3 shares sequence identity with OPG (31%), TNFRII (29%) and Fas (17%). It was found to be expressed in a variety of different tissues and at high levels in many malignant tumors. Among TNF family members, DcR3 was shown to bind with Fas ligand (FasL) and LIGHT and inhibit FasL- and LIGHT-induced apoptosis. Thus, in addition to DcR1, DcR2 and OPG, DcR3 is another TNFR family molecule which modulates ligands that induce apoptosis. Overexpression of DcR3 might be a mechanism by which certain tumors escape immune-cytotoxic attack.
