Tumor necrosis factor receptor

Overview
A tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) is, as its name would indicate, a receptor which binds tumor necrosis factors (TNF).

Because "TNF" is often used to describe TNF alpha, "TNFR" is often used to describe the receptors that bind to TNF alpha - namely, CD120. However, there several other members of this family that bind to the other TNFs.
