Product name:Human BAFF-R ELISA Kit
Description:
BAFF-R (B cell activating factor receptor) is a 19 kD type III membrane protein. It belongs to TNFR superfamily, also known as TNFRSF member 13C (TNFRSF13C), BAFF receptor 3 (BR3), or CD268. BAFF-R is expressed on mature B cells, B cell lymphoma, and T cell subset. BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. Two receptors, TACI and BCMA, for BAFF were originally identified. A third receptor was identified recently and designated BAFF-R and BR3 for BLyS receptor 3. BAFF and its receptors are involved in B cell associated autoimmune diseases, and activate NF-kappaB and c-jun N terminal kinase.
