- Extra Details:
- Members in the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. Two novel members in the TNF family were recently identified and designated BAFF/BLyS/TALL-1/THANK/zTNF41-4 and April/TALL-2; respectively. BAFF was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. April regulates immunological and non-immunological cell growth. Three receptors; BCMA (for B cell maturation protein); TACI; and BAFF-R; for BAFF were recently identified. BCMA; like TACI; binds BAFF and April. BAFF and its receptors induce B cell development and survival; activate NF-kB and c-jun N-terminal kinase; and are involved in B cell associated autoimmune diseases. 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. Mouse and human BCMA share 62% amino acid identity.
