- Mechanism of action
HGS-TR2J binds TRAIL Receptor 2 with high affinity, induces apoptosis and has anti-tumor activity, both as a single agent and in combination with chemotherapy. HGS-TR2J mimics the activity of native TRAIL (tumor necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand) and, thus, is considered an agonistic antibody. Numerous nonclinical studies have shown that cell lines derived from a broad array of solid and hematological human tumors, including lung, colon, breast, multiple myeloma, prostate and pancreas, are sensitive to killing by apoptosis (programmed cell death) induced by native TRAIL or by agonistic antibodies to TRAIL Receptors 1 and 2.2-24.

- General Function
- Receptor for the cytotoxic ligand TNFSF10/TRAIL (PubMed:10549288). The adapter molecule FADD recruits caspase-8 to the activated receptor. The resulting death-inducing signaling complex (DISC) performs caspase-8 proteolytic activation which initiates the subsequent cascade of caspases (aspartate-specific cysteine proteases) mediating apoptosis. Promotes the activation of NF-kappa-B. Essential for ER stress-induced apoptosis
