TROY/TNFRSF19 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc)

TROY Protein also known as TAJ, TNFRSF19, a type I transmembrane receptor, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. TROY Protein is involved in embryonic development and the development of skin and hair follicles^[1]. TROY Protein inhibits cell proliferation in vitro and shows antitumor activity in xenografted models^[2]. TROY/TNFRSF19 Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Fc label, It consists of 170 amino acids (M1-L170) and is produced in HEK293 cells.

TROY Protein shows a unique tissue distribution in the embryo as well as after birth; in the embryo, TROY is exclusively expressed in the epithelium including the neuroepithelium, skin, bronchiolar epithelium, conjunctiva, and so forth, whereas after birth, TROY Protein is strongly expressed in hair follicles like Edar as well as in neurons^[1]. TROY Protein is expressed in several invasive cancers, including colorectal cancer, lung cancer, melanoma, nasopharyngeal carcinoma, prostate cancer and GBM^[3].
The amino acid sequence of human TROY protein has low homology for mouse TROY protein.
TROY Protein is a growth-promoting signaling molecule that also regulates the NF-κB pathway via interacting with RKIP^[2]. In addition, increased TROY expression promotes STAT3 phosphorylation and STAT3 transcriptional activity that is dependent upon JAK1^[3]. TROY interacts with LGR5 and inhibits Wnt signaling^[4].
Knock-down of TROY suppresses the growth of glioma cells and induces cell cycle arrest at the G1-S phase in U87 cells, significantly decreasing NF-kB luciferase activity^[2]. Increased TROY expression increases JAK1 phosphorylation, and silencing TROY expression inhibits GBM cell invasion, and increases sensitivity to temozolomide in glioblastoma^[3].
