BAFF, a member of the TNF superfamily of proteins, is a homotrimeric transmembrane protein, which is cleaved to produce a soluble cytokine (1).
BAFF may also further oligomerize into 60-mer structures (1).
BAFF is expressed by neutrophils, macrophages, dendritic cells, activated T cells, and epithelial cells (1,2).
BAFF plays a key role in B cell development, survival, and activation (1,3,4).
BAFF binds to three distinct receptors, BAFF-R, TACI, and BCMA (1).
These receptors are differentially expressed during B cell development and among B cell subsets (1,2,4).
While BAFF-R and BCMA bind to the homotrimeric form of BAFF, TACI only binds to membrane bound or higher order BAFF structures (1).
The BAFF/ BAFF-R interaction activates both canonical and non-canonical NF-κB pathways, PI3K/Akt, and mTOR (2,4).
Activation of the noncanonical NF-κB pathway via BAFF-R is negatively regulated by TRAF3 (5).
Elevated levels of BAFF may exacerbate many autoimmune disorders, making it an attractive therapeutic target (2).
