Cachectin Receptors
Cell surface receptors that bind tumor necrosis factor and trigger changes which influence the behavior of cells. The two recognized tumor necrosis factor receptors are designated alpha and beta receptors. Both receptors bind both alpha and beta tumor necrosis factors with high affinity, and both are members of the nerve growth factor receptor family.
