Human TACI / TNFRSF13B Protein, His Tag

Transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI), also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13B (TNFRSF13B) . It was originally discovered because of its ability to interact with calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML) . TACI was later found to play a crucial role in humoral immunity by interacting with two members of the TNF family: BAFF and APRIL. The present study demonstrated that, in NSCLC, a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL), B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) and transmembrane activator and CAML interactor (TACI) proteins are abnormally expressed by immunohistochemistry, reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction and western blotting. In addition, the expression of APRIL, BCMA and TACI were observed to be involved in extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2 activation in A549 cells.
