Q02223 |
| Alternative Name |
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, TNFRSF17, B cell maturation antigen, BCM, BCMA, CD_antigen=CD269 |
| Species |
Human |
| Source |
E. coli |
| Description |
BCMA (B cell maturation) is a nonglycosylated integral membrane type I protein that is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes.The N-terminal part of both mouse and human proteins contains a conserved six-cysteine motif. BLyS binds to three receptors of the TNF receptor family (B cell maturation antigen BCMA, TACI, and BAFF-R), all of which are expressed by mature B cells. |

| Functions |
The ED(50) was not determined. |
| Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 ?m filtered solution in PBS |
| Solubility |
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers. |
| Appearance |
Lyophilized Powder |
| Molecular Weight |
6 |
| Purity |
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE |
| Concentration |
<1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method. |
| Shipping Condition |
Ambient Temperature |
| Storage Condition |
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least one year from date of receipt at -70?C. Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2? – 8?C for one month, or at -20?C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles. |
