TRAIL, also called Apo2L, is a member of the tumor necrosis factor family (TNF). In contrast to other family members such as TNFa/TNFR1 and FasL/Fas, TRAIL and its receptors DR4 and DR5 are widely expressed in many human tissues. TRAIL activates rapid apoptosis in many transformed cell lines but not in normal tissues, even though TRAIL and its receptors DR4 and DR5 are expressed on both cell types. A glycophospholipid-anchored cell surface protein designated decoy receptor 1 (DcR1 or TRID) acts as a decoy to inhibit TRAIL signaling. Thus, TRAIL and its signaling pathways may have direct applications in selective tumor cell death and cancer research.
