Name : BCMA, Human

Product Concentration :

Background :
BCMA, a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, binds to BAFF and APRIL. BCMA is expressed on mature B-cells and other B-cell lines and plays an important role in B cell development, function and regulation. BCMA also has the capability to activate NF-kappaB and JNK. The human BCMA gene codes for a 184 amino acid type I transmembrane protein, which contains a 54 amino acid extracellular domain, a 23 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 107 amino acid extracellular domain.

Biological Activity :
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by its ability to inhibit APRIL-mediated proliferation of anti-IgM stimulated murine B cells is no less than 40.0 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.5 × 104 IU/mg in the presence of 100.0 ng/ml human APRIL.
