Product Specs

Introduction
TACI, or TNFRSF13B, is a transmembrane receptor protein primarily found on the surface of B cells, key components of the immune system. Initially discovered for its interaction with CAML (calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand), TACI is now recognized for its crucial role in humoral immunity through interactions with two TNF family members. It regulates T cell-independent B cell antibody responses, isotype switching, and maintains B cell homeostasis.

Note: On SDS-PAGE, the molecular size appears between 25-50 kDa. The protein is expressed with a 242 amino acid hIgG-His tag at the C-terminus and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The TACI protein solution is provided at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml and contains Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4), 30% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 2-4 weeks), keep the vial at 4°C. For longer storage, freeze the solution at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA (0.1%) is recommended for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Expression

TNFRSF13B is a transmembrane protein predominantly found on the surface of B cells . The human recombinant version of this protein, expressed in Sf9 insect cells, is a soluble 159 amino acid polypeptide with a molecular weight of approximately 17.8 kDa . The protein comprises the TNFR homologous, cysteine-rich extracellular domain of the TACI protein .

Function

TACI interacts with three ligands: APRIL (A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand), BAFF (B-cell Activating Factor), and CAML (Calcium-Modulator and Cyclophilin Ligand) . These interactions are essential for various immune responses, including:

  • B cell proliferation and survival: TACI signaling promotes the survival and proliferation of B cells, which are vital for the adaptive immune response .
  • Isotype switching: TACI plays a role in the process of isotype switching, where B cells change the class of antibody they produce without altering the antigen specificity .
  • Humoral immunity: TACI is involved in the regulation of humoral immune responses, which are mediated by antibodies produced by B cells .
Clinical Significance

Mutations or defects in the TNFRSF13B gene can lead to immune system disorders. For instance, TACI mutations have been associated with Common Variable Immunodeficiency (CVID) and Selective IgA Deficiency (IGAD) . These conditions result in impaired antibody production and increased susceptibility to infections.

Research and Applications

Recombinant human TACI is used in various research applications to study its role in immune responses and its potential therapeutic implications. The protein is often utilized in assays to investigate B cell function, signaling pathways, and the effects of TACI interactions with its ligands .
