Human APRIL / TNFSF13 Protein, Fc Tag

APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand) is also known as Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13, TALL-2, TRDL-1, CD256, TNFFSF 13, cytokine that binds to TNFRSF13B/TACI and to TNFRSF17/BCMA. APRIL is a cytokine of the tumor necrosis factor family associated mainly with hematologic malignancies. The closely related TNF family ligands B cell activation factor (BAFF) and a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) serve in the generation and maintenance of mature B-lymphocytes. Both BAFF and APRIL assemble as homotrimers that bind and activate several receptors that they partially share. BAFF-APRIL heteromers of different stoichiometries have distinct receptor-binding properties and activities. In addition, expression of APRIL was regulated by miR-145 in GC cells.

This protein carries a human IgG1 Fc tag at the N-terminus. The protein has a calculated MW of 42.2 kDa. The protein migrates as 45-53 kDa when calibrated against Star Ribbon Pre-stained Protein Marker under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

● -20°C to -70°C for 12 months in lyophilized state; ● -70°C for 3 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution. For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
