BCMA/TNFRSF17, Human (HEK293, His-Avi)

B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) also referred to as TNFRSF17 or CD269, is a transmembrane glycoprotein member of the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. BCMA is used as a biomarker for Multiple myeloma (MM). BCMA mainly plays an important role in B cells for their proliferation, survival and also differentiates them into plasma cells[1]. BCMA/TNFRSF17 Protein, Human (HEK293, His-Avi) is a recombinant protein with a C-Terminal Avi label and a C-Terminal His label, It consists of 54 amino acids (M1-A54) and is produced in HEK293 cells.
