The tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF) is a

leukocytes.[4]

The term death receptor refers to those members of the TNF receptor superfamily that contain a death domain, such as TNFR1, Fas receptor, DR4 and DR5.[4] They were named after the fact that they seemed to play an important role in apoptosis (programmed cell death), although they are now known to play other roles as well.[5]

In the strict sense, the term TNF receptor is often used to refer to the archetypal members of the superfamily, namely TNFR1 and

TNFR2
, which recognize TNF-alpha.

Members

There are 27 family members, numerically classified as TNFRSF#, where # denotes the member number, sometimes followed a letter.[2]
