Anti-BCMA/Tnfrsf17 Antibody Picoband®, Cy3 Conjugate

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA or BCM), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes, and may be important for B cell development and autoimmune response. This receptor has been shown to specifically bind to the tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b (TNFSF13B/TALL-1/BAFF), and to lead to NF-kappaB and MAPK8/JNK activation. This receptor also binds to various TRAF family members, and thus may transduce signals for cell survival and proliferation.

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the N-terminus of mouse BCMA/Tnfrsf17, which shares 78.9% and 95% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat BCMA/Tnfrsf17, respectively.
