Active Recombinant Human TNFSF13, FLAG-tagged

• Cat.No.: TNFSF13-399H
• Product Overview: The extracellular domain of human APRIL (aa 98-233) is fused at the N-terminus to human ACRP30headless (aa 16-108) and a FLAG-tag.

Specification

• Description: APRIL is a cytokine that belongs to the TNF superfamily and binds to TACI and BCMA. It is implicated in the regulation of tumor cell growth, is involved in monocyte/macrophage-mediated immunological processes and functions as an important survival factor for plasmablasts and bone marrow plasma cells. MegaAPRIL is a high activity construct in which two trimeric APRIL ligands are artificially linked via the collagen domain of ACRP30. This construct very effectively stimulates proliferation B cell. A basic amino acid sequence (QKQKKQ) close to the N-terminus of APRIL is required for binding to negatively charged sulfated glycosaminoglycan side chains of proteoglycans. Proteoglycans mediate binding of APRIL to tumor cells as well as primary lymphoid cells.
