Apparent molecular weight:38-40 KDa, reducing conditions

Other names:Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17;TNFRSF17;B-cell maturation protein;CD269

Storage condition:Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

Purity:Greater than 95% as determined by reducing SDS-PAGE.

Endotoxin:Less than 0.1 ng/µg (1 EU/µg) as determined by LAL test.

Biological activity:Loaded Mouse BAFF-mFc(Cat#C06U) on AMC Biosensor, can bind Human BCMA-Fc(Cat#CS79) with an affinity constant of 0.44 nM as determined in BLI assay.

Redissolve:Always centrifuge tubes before opening.Do not mix by vortex or pipetting. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100μg/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please aliquot the reconstituted solution to minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Storage:Lyophilized protein should be stored at < -20°C, though stable at room temperature for 3 weeks. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-7°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.

Delivery condition:The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature listed below.

Background:B cell maturation protein (BCMA) is a type III membrane protein which belongs to the TNF receptor superfamily (TNFRSF17). BCMA contains one extracellular cysteine rich domain, as well as TACI. Human BCMA is a 184 amino acid (aa) protein consisting of a 54 aa extracellular domain, a 23 aa transmembrane domain, and a 107 aa intracellular domain. Mouse and human BCMA share 62% amino acid identity. BCMA is mainly expressed in immune organs and mature B cell lines. BCMA appears to be localized to the Golgi compartment. BCMA may play an important role in B cell development, function and regulation.
