Product Specs

Introduction
TNFRSF13B (TACI) is a transmembrane receptor protein primarily located on the surface of B cells, which are crucial components of the immune system. TACI was initially identified due to its interaction with calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML). Subsequent research revealed its critical role in humoral immunity through interactions with two members of the TNF family. TACI also regulates T cell-independent B cell antibody responses, isotype switching, and maintains B cell homeostasis.
Description
Recombinant human TACI protein, expressed in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain. It consists of 188 amino acids (including a 23 amino acid His tag at the N-terminus), encompassing amino acids 1-165 of the native sequence. The protein has a molecular weight of 20.9 kDa and is purified using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
Clear, colorless, and sterile-filtered solution.
Formulation
The TACI solution is provided at a concentration of 1mg/ml in a buffer consisting of 20mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 10% glycerol, and 0.4M Urea.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the solution should be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. The addition of a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advised for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of the TACI protein is greater than 90% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

TNFRSF13B is a transmembrane protein that interacts with calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand (CAML). It plays a significant role in the activation of transcription factors such as NFAT, AP1, and NF-kappa-B. These transcription factors are essential for the regulation of humoral immunity, which involves the production of antibodies by B cells .

The receptor binds to two ligands with high affinity: TNFSF13/APRIL and TNFSF13B/BAFF/BLYS. These interactions are crucial for the stimulation of B- and T-cell functions, as well as the regulation of humoral immunity .

Recombinant Protein and His Tag

The recombinant form of TNFRSF13B, tagged with a polyhistidine (His) tag, is produced using recombinant DNA technology. The His tag is a sequence of histidine residues added to the protein to facilitate its purification and detection. This tag allows for the efficient isolation of the protein using metal affinity chromatography, which is a common technique in protein purification .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the TNFRSF13B gene have been associated with various immunodeficiency disorders, including Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and Selective IgA Deficiency (IGAD). These conditions are characterized by a reduced ability to produce antibodies, leading to increased susceptibility to infections .

The receptor’s role in immune regulation makes it a potential target for therapeutic interventions in autoimmune diseases and other conditions involving dysregulated immune responses .

Research and Applications

Research on TNFRSF13B has provided valuable insights into its role in immune regulation and its potential as a therapeutic target. The recombinant form of the protein, with the His tag, is widely used in laboratory studies to investigate its function and interactions with other molecules .
