BAFF Human, His
B cell Activating Factor Human Recombinant, His Tag

Synonyms:
BAFF, BLYS, CD257, TALL1, THANK, ZTNF4, TALL-1, TNFSF20, TNFSF13B.

Introduction:
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.
B Lymphocyte Stimulator functions as a potent B-cell growth factor in costimulation assays.
Administration of BAFF Human recombinant to mice disrupts splenic B-cell and T-cell zones and results in elevated levels of serum immunoglobulin.

Description:
BLyS Human Recombinant fused to His tag at N-terminus produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 190 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 21 kDa.
The BAFF His tag fusion protein is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Source:
Escherichia Coli.
