The present inventors have discovered novel receptors in the Tumor
Necrosis Factor (TNF) receptor family. In particular, receptors having
homology to the type 2 TNF receptor (TNF-RII) are provided. Isolated
nucleic acid molecules are also provided encoding the novel receptors of
the present invention. Receptor polypeptides are further provided as are
vectors, host cells and recombinant methods for producing the same.
