BAFF/TNFSF13B, Human (HEK293, His)

BAFF/TNFSF13B, is the B cell-activating cytokine belonging to the tumor necrosis factor family. BAFF is involved in cancer immunity and is mainly expressed in myeloid cells. Its overexpression can lead to autoimmune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) . In addition, BAFF is also involved in adipogenesis, atherosclerosis, neuroinflammatory process and ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury[1]. Human BAFF protein has two glycosylated domains and one transmembrane domain (48-68 a.a.), and can be cleaved into membrane-type peptide fragments and soluble peptide fragments. BAFF/TNFSF13B Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the extracullar part of BAFF protein (A134-L285), produced in HEK293 cells with N-terminal 6*His-tag.
