BCMA, B cell maturation, is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. It has been designated TNFRSF17. BCMA is a type III membrane protein containing one extracellular cysteine rich domain. Within the TNFRSF, it shares the highest homology with TACI. BCMA and TACI have both been shown to bind to APRIL and BAFF, members of the TNF ligand superfamily. BCMA expression has been found in immune organs and mature B cell lines. Although some expression has been observed at the cell surface, BCMA appears to be localized to the Golgi compartment. The binding of BCMA to APRIL or BAFF has been shown to stimulate IgM production in peripheral blood B cells and increase the survival of cultured B cells. This data suggests that BCMA may play an important role in B cell development, function and regulation. Human BCMA is a 184 amino acid (aa) protein consisting of a 54 aa extracellular domain, a 23 aa transmembrane domain, and a 107 aa intracellular domain. Mouse and human BCMA share 62% amino acid identity.

Detection of BCMA/TNFRSF17 in U266 cells by Flow Cytometry
U266 cells were stained with Goat Anti-Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Biotinylated Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # BAF193, filled histogram) or isotype control antibody (Catalog # BAF108, open histogram) followed by Streptavidin-Phycoerythrin (Catalog # F0040).

Recombinant Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 193-BC) was serially diluted and captured by Goat Anti-Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF193) coated on a Clear Polystyrene Microplate (Catalog # DY990). Goat Anti-Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF193) was biotinylated and incubated with the protein captured on the plate. Detection of the standard curve was achieved by incubating Streptavidin-HRP (Catalog # DY998)Applications for Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Antibody [Biotin]
