Background Information
BAFF (B-cell-activating factor), also called Tnfsf13b (Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B) and CD257, is a 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 stimulating 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 (PMID: 12867412). BAFF cleaved into 2 chains: membrane form is 32-35 kDa; soluble form is 17 kDa.
