Product: BAFF, clone Buffy-1
Cat. No: MC-283 (100 μg)
Background:
BAFF (for B-cell activating factor belonging to
the TNF family), a new member of the tumor
necrosis factor (TNF) family was simultaneously
identified by four different laboratories and
named BAFF, TALL-1, THANK, zTNF4. It is
abundantly expressed in monocytes and
macrophages, upregulated by interferon g.
Endogenous BAFF is processed intracellularly
by a protease of the furin family of proprotein
convertases. Secreted BAFF acts as a potent B
cell growth factor. Recently, two receptors for
BAFF have been identified and termed as
BCMA and TACI.
