ActoFactor™ Recombinant Human Tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b

Specification

Cat.No.

CSC-CTK0061

Description

Human BAFF (B cell Activating Factor) is a ligand in the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family and is also known as B Lymphocyte Stimulator (BLyS). It binds to several receptors including the BAFF receptor, BCMA and TACI, the latter two are shared with the ligand APRIL. It is known as a co-stimulator of B cell proliferation and has been described together with APRIL as important for the proliferation of human embryonic stem cells. Recombinant Human BAFF is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 153 amino acids and has a MW of 17.0 kDa.
