BAFF binds to three TNF receptor superfamily members: B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA TNFRSF17), transmembrane activator and calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor (TACI TNFRSF13B) and BAFF receptor (BAFF R BR3 TNFRSF13C). These receptors are type III transmembrane proteins that lack a signal peptide. Whereas TACI and BCMA bind BAFF and another TNF superfamily ligand, APRIL (a proliferation-inducing ligand), BAFF R selectively binds BAFF.
CD19 is a 95 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein that plays a central role in B cell activation and humoral immune responses.Functions as coreceptor for the B-cell antigen receptor complex (BCR) on B-lymphocytes. Decreases the threshold for activation of downstream signaling pathways and for triggering B-cell responses to antigens. Activates signaling pathways that lead to the activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and the mobilization of intracellular Ca2 stores.
CD19 Protein, Human, Recombinant (hFc & Avi), Biotinylated is expressed in HEK293 mammalian cells with hFc and Avi tag. The predicted molecular weight is 58.65 kDa and the accession number is NP_001171569.1.
