TNFRSF11A (TNF Receptor Superfamily Member 11a) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with TNFRSF11A include Osteopetrosis, Autosomal Recessive 7 and Osteolysis, Familial Expansile. Among its related pathways are Akt Signaling and CDK-mediated phosphorylation and removal of Cdc6. The protein encoded by TNFRSF11A is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptors can interact with various TRAF family proteins, through which this receptor induces the activation of NF-kappa B and MAPK8/JNK. This receptor and its ligand are important regulators of the interaction between T cells and dendritic cells. This receptor is also an essential mediator for osteoclast and lymph node development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with familial expansile osteolysis, autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, and Paget disease of bone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus.
