Description
B-cell maturation protein (BCMA or BCM), is also known as Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), which is encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene. TNFRSF17 is a cell surface receptor of the TNF receptor superfamily which recognizes B-cell activating factor (BAFF) . This receptor is expressed in immune organs and mature B cell lines. BCMA promotes B-cell survival and plays a role in the regulation of humoral immunity. BCMA can activate NF-kappa-B and JNK.
