background

B-cell activating factor (BAFF) also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF13B gene.BAFF is a cytokine that belongs to the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. This cytokine is a ligand for receptors TNFRSF13B/TACI, TNFRSF17/BCMA, and TNFRSF13C/BAFF-R.

molecular weight

The protein has a predicted MW of 41.7 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 45-48 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

Function
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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10973284}.; FUNCTION: Isoform 2 seems to inhibit isoform 1 secretion and bioactivity. {ECO:0000250}.; FUNCTION: [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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10973284}.
Subellular location
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane; Single-pass type II membrane protein.; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: [Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13b, soluble form]: Secreted.
Tissues
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Abundantly expressed in peripheral blood Leukocytes and is specifically expressed in monocytes and macrophages. Also found in the spleen, lymph node, bone marrow, T-cells and dendritic cells. A lower expression seen in placenta, heart, lung, fetal liver, thymus, and pancreas. Isoform 2 is expressed in many myeloid cell lines. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12867412}.
Structure
SUBUNIT: Homotrimer. Isoform 2 heteromultimerizes with isoform 1, probably limiting the amount of functional isoform 1 on the cell surface. Isoform 3 is unlikely form trimers or bind to BAFF receptors. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12867412, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22749832}.
Post-translational modification
PTM: The soluble form derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing.; PTM: Isoform 2 is not efficiently shed from the membrane unlike isoform 1. {ECO:0000250}.; PTM: N-glycosylated.
