Background: B-cell maturation protein (BCMA or BCM), is also known as Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), which is encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene. TNFRSF17 is a cell surface receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily which recognizes B-cell activating factor (BAFF). This receptor is expressed in immune organs and mature B cell lines. BCMA promotes B-cell survival and plays a role in the regulation of humoral immunity. BCMA can activate NF-kappa-B and JNK.
Description: Recombinant human BCMA(42-54) Protein with C-terminal mouse Fc tag
Molecular Weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 27.4 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of BCMA(42-54)-mFc is approximately 25-55 kDa due to glycosylation.
Storage & Shipping: Store at -20°C to -80°C for 12 months in lyophilized form. After reconstitution, if not intended for use within a month, aliquot and store at -80°C (Avoid repeated freezing and thawing). Lyophilized proteins are shipped at ambient temperature.
