Recombinant Human B-cell Maturation Protein (TNFRSF17)

• 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.

• Gene Name:

  TNFRSF17

• Gene Aliases:

  Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, TNFRSF17, B cell maturation antigen, BCM, BCMA, CD269

• Gene ID:

  608

• Accession Number:

  Q02223

• Organism:

  Human

• Source:

  E. coli

• Concentration:

  <1.0 EU/μg of recombinant protein as determined by the LAL method

• Purity:

  >95% as determined by SDS-PAGE

• 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.

• Function:

  The ED(50) was determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of KMS15 cells and was found to be <0.05ng/mL.

• Molecular Weight:

  6

• Shipping Conditions:

  Ambient Temperature

• Storage Conditions:

  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.

• Appearance:

  Lyophilized Powder

• Formulation:

  Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in PBS

• CAS Number:

  9000-83-3
