TNF-related apoptosis-inducing ligand receptor 4 (TRAIL R4) is a decoy receptor that negatively regulate TRAIL-induced cytotoxicity by competing for ligand binding with TRAIL-R1 and TRAIL-R2.1 TRAIL R4 is expressed mainly on CD8+ and NK cells and induces apoptosis in many tumour cells, but not in normal cells. TRAIL-R4 contains partially truncated death domain and therefore is unable to induce apoptosis and serves as a negative regulator of apoptotic signaling by impairment death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) processing.1,2
