Biolegend, 366504, Biotin anti-human CD257 (BAFF, BLYS) Antibody, 100μg

BAFF, also known as B cell activating factor, tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily 13B, B lymphocyte stimulator (BLYS), TNF and APOL-related leukocyte expressed ligand 1 (TALL1), and TNF homolog, activates apoptosis, NF-κB, and JNK (THANK). BAFF is a type II transmembrane protein and is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily. BAFF can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble protein. BAFF, like other TNF ligand family members, forms homotrimers. The predicted molecular weight of a BAFF monomer is approximately 31 kD. BAFF is expressed on peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. It is upregulated by IFN-γ and downregulated by PMA/ionomycin treatment.

RRID: AB_2565622 (BioLegend Cat. No. 366504)
Structure: Type II transmembrane protein and is a member of the tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily. It can be proteolytically cleaved to form a soluble protein and it forms homotrimers. The predicted molecular weight of monomer is approximately 31 kD.
Distribution: Peripheral blood B and T lymphocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells. Upregulated by IFN-γ and is downregulated by PMA/ionomycin treatment.
Function: Stimulates B and T cell immunity, regulates humoral immunity by binding TACI and BCMA receptors, and prevents apoptosis and promotes B cell survival by binding the BAFF-specific receptor (BAFFR/BR3).
Ligand/Receptor: BAFF binds to TACI (TNFRSF13B) and BCMA (TNFRSF17) as well as the APRIL ligand. BAFF also binds to the BAFF-specific receptor (BAFFR/BR3).

Q: How many biotin molecules are per antibody structure?
A: We don't routinely measure the number of biotins with our antibody products but the number of biotin molecules range from 3-6 molecules per antibody.
