Active Protein Note
Protein activity can be an ambiguous term. Please refer to the data sheet or inquire with Technical Support to determine the definition of activity for this product.
Biological Activity
ED50=5-10ng/ml, determined by the dose dependent stimulation of IL-8 production by human PBMCs. Please note that this biological activity may vary with each PBMC donor. The biological activity was also determined in a mouse splenocyte survival assay. The ED50 for this assay is 0.5 - 2.0 µg/mL. BAFF is a member of the TNF ligand superfamily, which serves as a costimulator of B cell proliferation and function. This recombinant protein corresponds to the TNF-like portion of BAFF's extracellular domain.
Endotoxin Level
~0.1ng/ug

Other Notes

Small volumes of TNFSF13B active protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

NCBI Summary for TNFSF13B

The protein encoded by this gene is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for receptors TNFRSF13B/TACI, TNFRSF17/BCMA, and TNFRSF13C/BAFFR. This cytokine is expressed in B cell lineage cells, and acts as a potent B cell activator. It has been also shown to play an important role in the proliferation and differentiation of B cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.

UniProt Comments for TNFSF13B

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. Ref.15Isoform 2 seems to inhibit isoform 1 secretion and bioactivity

By similarity. Ref.15

Subunit structure: Homotrimer. Isoform 2 heteromultimerizes with isoform 1, probably limiting the amount of functional isoform 1 on the cell surface. Ref.4

Subcellular location: Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein. Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13b, soluble form: Secreted.

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. Ref.4

Induction: Up-regulated by exposure to IFNG/IFN-gamma. Down-regulated by phorbol myristate acetate/ionomycin treatment.

Post-translational modification: The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.Isoform 2 is not efficiently shed from the membrane unlike isoform 1

By similarity.N-glycosylated.

Sequence similarities: Belongs to the tumor necrosis factor family.
