|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | TNFSF13B |
| Gene Full Name | tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b |
| Background | A novel member of the TNF superfamily was recently identified and designated BAFF (B Cell Activating Factor of the TNF Family) or BlyS (B Lymphocyte Stimulator), TALL-1 (TNF- and ApoL-Related Leukocyte-Expressed Ligand), and THANK (TNF Homologue that Activates Apoptosis, NF- B and c-jun N-terminal Kinase). BAFF is designated a B cell stimulator since it induces B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. BAFF and its receptors are involved in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus and other B cell-associated autoimmune diseases. |
| Function | Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF13B/TACI and TNFRSF17/BCMA. TNFSF13/APRIL binds to the same 2 receptors. Together, they form a 2 ligands -2 receptors pathway involved in the stimulation of B- and T-cell function and the regulation of humoral immunity. A third B-cell specific BAFF-receptor (BAFFR/BR3) promotes the survival of mature B-cells and the B-cell response. Isoform 2 seems to inhibit isoform 1 secretion and bioactivity. Isoform 3: Acts as a transcription factor for its own parent gene, in association with NF-kappa-B p50 subunit, at least in autoimmune and proliferative B-cell diseases. The presence of Delta4BAFF is essential for soluble BAFF release by IFNG/IFN-gamma-stimulated monocytes and for B-cell survival. It can directly or indirectly regulate the differential expression of a large number of genes involved in the innate immune response and the regulation of apoptosis. [UniProt] |
| Research Area | Cancer antibody; Cell Biology and Cellular Response antibody; Cell Death antibody; Immune System antibody |
| Calculated MW | 31 kDa |
| PTM | The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing. Isoform 2 is not efficiently shed from the membrane unlike isoform 1. N-glycosylated. |
