Recombinant Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Protein (Fc Tag)

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.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
