Background

Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 2 (TNFR2, also known as TNFRSF1B or CD120b) is a transmembrane receptor of the TNF protein superfamily that binds the pleiotropic pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha). TNFR2 can be found in several T-Cell subsets such as regulatory CD8+ T-Cells (Tregs) and CD4+ tumor-infiltrating T cells, myeloid lineage cells and some cancer types, and it is involved in autoimmune diseases, graft versus host disease and cancer. It has become an attractive target for cancer immunotherapy, where its different functions as oncogene and immune regulator are being explored. TNFR2 also exhibits neuroprotective properties and promotes tissue regeneration, making it a promising potential therapeutic target for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.
