Recombinant Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Fc Chimera Protein SEC-MALS.

Recombinant Human BCMA/TNFRSF17 Fc Chimera (Catalog # 193-BC) has a molecular weight (MW) of 70.6 kDa as analyzed by SEC-MALS, suggesting that this protein is a homodimer.  MW may differ from predicted MW due to post-translational modifications (PTMs) present (i.e. Glycosylation).

Background: BCMA/TNFRSF17

BCMA, B cell maturation antigen, 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.

    ELISA signal
    The protein worked well for my ELISA. Same for AVI193. My experiment confirmed the binding of 193-BC and 2149-BF as indicated in the blue colour change in the attached image. I was testing a certain compound that has the potential to inhibit the binding of BCMA with its ligands. I didn't see any difference between 193-BC and AVI193, both binds to rhBAFF and produced similar signals.
