Subcellular Localization | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in peripheral blood Leukocytes and is specifically expressed in monocytes and macrophages. Also found in the spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, T- cells and dendritic cells. A lower expression seen in placenta, heart, lung, fetal liver, thymus, and pancreas. Isoform 2 is expressed in many myeloid cell lines. . |
Protein Name | Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B |
Contents | Each vial contains 5mg BSA, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na2HPO4, 0.05mg Thimerosal, 0.05mg NaN3. |
Immunogen | A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human BAFF(265-285aa RENAQISLDGDVTFFGALKLL), different from the related rat and mouse sequences by three amino acids. |
Purification | Immunogen affinity purified. |
Cross Reactivity | No cross reactivity with other proteins |
Storage | At -20˚C for one year. After r˚Constitution, at 4˚C for one month. It˚Can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Sequence Similarities | Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family. |
Name | TNFSF13B |
---|---|
Synonyms | BAFF, BLYS, TALL1, TNFSF20, ZTNF4 |
Function | Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF13B/TACI and TNFRSF17/BCMA. TNFSF13/APRIL binds to the same 2 receptors. Together, they form a 2 ligands -2 receptors pathway involved in the stimulation of B- and T- cell function and the regulation of humoral immunity. A third B-cell specific BAFF-receptor (BAFFR/BR3) promotes the survival of mature B- cells and the B-cell response. |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein |
Tissue Location | Abundantly expressed in peripheral blood Leukocytes and is specifically expressed in monocytes and macrophages. Also found in the spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, T-cells and dendritic cells. A lower expression seen in placenta, heart, lung, fetal liver, thymus, and pancreas. Isoform 2 is expressed in many myeloid cell lines |

Background
BAFF was regularly detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in brain tissue lysates and in normal spinal fluid, and in astrocytes by double fluorescence microscopy. BAFF was localized in astrocytes close to BAFF-R-expressing immune cells. BAFF receptors were strongly expressed in situ in primary central nervous system(CNS) lymphomas. The TNF superfamily member B cell-activating factor(BAFF) plays an important role in humoral immunity and in autoimmune diseases, including RA.Local BAFF gene targeting inhibited proinflammatory cytokine expression, suppressed generation of plasma cells and Th17 cells, and markedly ameliorated joint pathology. The B cell activating factor BAFF(BlyS/TALL-1/zTNF4) is a tumor necrosis factor(TNF)-related ligand that promotes B cell survival and binds to three receptors(BCMA, TACI, and the recently described BAFF-R). Human BAFF was mapped to chromosome 13q32-34.4. The standard used in this kit is recombinant soluble human BAFF(A134-L295) with the molecular mass of 19.6KDa.
