| General description: | BAFF (B lymphocyte activating factor) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family which is expressed in T Cells, macrophages, monocytes and dendritic cells. It is also known as BLyS, THANK, TALL, zTNF4 and TNFS20. BAFF enhances B cell survival in vitro and has emerged as a key regulator of peripheric B cell and it is vital homeostatic cytokine for B cells that helps regulate both innate and adaptive immune responses. BAFF binds to three TNF receptors: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA/TNFRSF17), transmembrane activator and calcium modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor(TACI/TNFRSF13B |
| Other Notes: | Extinction Coefficient: E0.1% = 0.791 (A280 nm) p.I: 6.03 |
| Physical form: | Lyophilized from a 20 mM PBS buffer at pH 7 and 0.2 M NaCl. |
| Preparation Note: | Lyophilized protein should be reconstituted in water to a concentration of 25 - 50 ng /μl. Due to the protein nature, dimmers and multimers may be observed. |
