Recombinant Human BCMA / TNFRSF17 Protein, His Tag, premium grade DMF Filed, 100 µg

Background
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17) is also known as B-cell maturation protein (BCMA), CD antigen CD269, which is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. TNFRSF17 contains one TNFR-Cys repeat. TNFRSF17 is expressed in mature B-cells, but not in T-cells or monocytes. TNFRSF17 is receptor for TNFSF13B/BLyS/BAFF and TNFSF13/APRIL. TNFRSF17 promotes B-cell survival and plays a role in the regulation of humoral immunity. TNFRSF17 can activate NF-kappa-B and JNK.

Source
Human Human BCMA Protein, His Tag, premium grade(BCA-H522y) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Met 1 - Ala 54 (Accession # Q02223-1).
Predicted N-terminus: Met 1
It is produced under our rigorous quality control system that incorporates a comprehensive set of tests including sterility and endotoxin tests. Product performance is carefully validated and tested for compatibility for cell culture use or any other applications in the early preclinical stage. When ready to transition into later clinical phases, we also offer a custom GMP protein service that tailors to your needs. We will work with you to customize and develop a GMP-grade product in accordance with your requests that also meets the requirements for raw and ancillary materials use in cell manufacturing of cell-based therapies.

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus
The protein has a calculated MW of 7.8 kDa. The protein migrates as 12 kDa and 14-18 kDa under reducing (R) condition (SDS-PAGE) due to glycosylation.

Endotoxin
Less than 0.01 EU per μg by the LAL method.

Sterility
The sterility testing was performed by membrane filtration method.

Mycoplasma
Negative.

Purity
>90% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4 with trehalose as protectant.

Reconstitution
Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.
For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA.

Storage
For long term storage, the product should be stored at lyophilized state at -20°C or lower.
Please avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
This product is stable after storage at:
-20°C to -70°C for 24 months in lyophilized state;
-70^°C for 12 months under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
 
Bioactivity
