BCMA, B cell maturation antigen, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily.(TNFRSF17). BCMA and TACI have both been shown to bind to APRIL and BAFF, members of the TNF ligand superfamily. BCMA expression has been found in immune organs and mature B cell lines.The binding of BCMA to APRIL or BAFF has been shown to stimulate IgM production in peripheral blood B cells and increase the survival of cultured B cells. Specifications Synonyms CD269; TNFRSF17; BCMA; BCM; TNFRSF13A Uniprot No. Q02223 Source Recombinant Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Trimer Protein is expressed from HEK293 Cells with His tag and Avi tag at the C-terminal. It contains Met1-Ala54. Molecular Weight The protein has a predicted MW of 29.5 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 30-48 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result. Purity > 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE and HPLC. Endotoxin < 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 5% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization. Reconstitution Centrifuge tubes before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml` is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Storage The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ for 1 year. 2-7 days, 2 to 8 °C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. 3 -6 months, -20 to -80°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Note 1.Please operate with lab coats and disposable gloves,for your safety. 2.This product is for research use only. Product Data
