Simultaneously four different laboratories identified a a new member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family.
This has been named as TALL-1 (1), THANK (TNF homologue that activates apoptosis, nuclear factor-kappaB, and c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (2), BAFF (for B cell activating factor belonging to the TNF family) (3) and BlyS (B lymphocyte stimulator) (4).
Membrane-bound BAFF is processed and secreted through the action of a protease whose specificity matches that of the furin family of proprotein convertases.
The receptor for BlyS/BAFF appears to be expressed predominantly on B cells and activated T cells (5).
Recently two orphan receptors TACI (6) and BCMA (7,8) have been shown to be receptors for BlyS/BAFF (6-9).
TACI is expressed on B cells and signals through CAML, activating the transcription factors NF-AT, NF-kB, and AP-1.
TACI is a type III transmembrane protein, as defined by the lack of a cleaved signal sequence and its N-terminal extracellular exposure.
The cDNA codes for 293 amino acids with predicted molecular weight of approximately 32 kD.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications have not been tested.
Recommended Dilution:Western Blot: 0.1-0.5ug/ml of TACI in 10ug/lane of Daudi lysate.
A protein band of ~32 kD is detected.
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
