EDAR ectodysplasin A receptor

Gene ID: 10913, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DL; ED3; ED5; ED1R; EDA3; HRM1; EDA1R; ECTD10A; ECTD10B; EDA-A1R

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor family. The encoded transmembrane protein is a receptor for the soluble ligand ectodysplasin A, and can activate the nuclear factor-kappaB, JNK, and caspase-independent cell death pathways. It is required for the development of hair, teeth, and other ectodermal derivatives. Mutations in this gene result in autosomal dominant and recessive forms of hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
