Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF); Members of TNFR superfamily (TNFRSF) interactions with TNF superfamily (TNFSF) ligands (TNFL) control key cellular processes such as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, and cell growth. Dysregulation of these pathways has been shown to result in a wide range of pathological conditions, including autoimmune diseases, inflammation, cancer, and viral infection. There are 29 very diverse family members of TNFRSF reported in humans: 22 are type I transmembrane receptors (single pass with the N terminus on extracellular side of the cell membrane) and have a clear signal peptide; the remaining 7 members are either type III transmembrane receptors (single pass with the N terminus on extracellular side of the membrane but no signal sequence; TNFR13B, TNFR13C, TNFR17, and XEDAR), or attached to the membrane via a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) linker (TNFR10C), or secreted as soluble receptors (TNFR11B and TNFR6B). All TNFRs contain relatively short cysteine-rich domains (CRDs) in the ectodomain, and are involved in interaction with the TNF homology domain (THD) of their ligands. TNFRs often have multiple CRDs (between one and six), with the most frequent configurations of three or four copies; most CRDs possess three disulfide bridges, but could have between one and four. Localized or genome-wide duplication and evolution of the TNFRSF members appear to have paralleled the emergence of the adaptive immune system; teleosts (i.e. ray-finned, bony fish), which possess an immune system with B and T cells, possess primary and secondary lymphoid organs, and are capable of adaptive responses to pathogens also display several characteristics that are different from the mammalian immune system, making teleost TNFSF orthologs and paralogs of interest to better understand immune system evolution and the immunological pathways elicited to pathogens.

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 27 (TNFRSF27), also known as ectodysplasin A2 receptor (EDA2R) or X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR); TNFRSF27 (also known as ectodysplasin A2 receptor (EDA2R), X-linked ectodermal dysplasia receptor (XEDAR), EDAA2R, EDA-A2R) has two isoforms, EDA-A1 and EDA-A2, that are encoded by the anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (EDA) gene. It is highly expressed during embryonic development and binds to ectodysplasin-A2 (EDA-A2), playing a crucial role in the p53-signaling pathway. EDA2R is a direct p53 target that is frequently down-regulated in colorectal cancer tissues due to its epigenetic alterations or through the p53 gene mutations. Mutations in the EDA-A2/XEDAR signaling give rise to ectodermal dysplasia, characterized by loss of hair, sweat glands, and teeth. A non-synonymous SNP on EDA2R, along with genetic variants in human androgen receptor is associated with androgenetic alopecia (AGA).

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 1B (TNFRSF1B) in teleost; also known as TNFR2; This subfamily of TNFRSF1B (also known as TNFR2, type 2 TNFR, TNFBR, TNFR80, TNF-R75, TNF-R-II, p75, CD120b) is found in teleosts. It binds TNF-alpha, but lacks the death domain (DD) that is associated with the cytoplasmic domain of TNFRSF1A (TNFR1). It is inducible and expressed exclusively by oligodendrocytes, astrocytes, T cells, thymocytes, myocytes, endothelial cells, and in human mesenchymal stem cells. TNFRSF1B protects oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OLGs) against oxidative stress, and induces the up-regulation of cell survival genes. While pro-inflammatory and pathogen-clearing activities of TNF are mediated mainly through activation of TNFRSF1A, a strong activator of NF-kappaB, TNFRSF1B is more responsible for suppression of inflammation. Although the affinities of both receptors for soluble TNF are similar, TNFRSF1B is sometimes more abundantly expressed and thought to associate with TNF, thereby increasing its concentration near TNFRSF1A receptors, and making TNF available to activate TNFRSF1A (a ligand-passing mechanism). Knockout studies in zebrafish embryos have shown that a signaling balance between TNFRSF1A and TNFRSF1B is required for endothelial cell integrity. TNFRSF1A signals apoptosis through caspase-8, whereas TNFRSF1B signals survival via NF-kB in endothelial cells. In goldfish (Carassius aurutus L.), TNFRSF1B expression is substantially higher than that of TNFRSF1 in tissues and various immune cell types. Both receptors are most robustly expressed in monocytes; mRNA levels of TNFRSF1B are lowest in peripheral blood leukocytes.
