TNFRSF13B ELISA Kit (Human) (OKBB00886)

Description of target: Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 13B, also known as TNFRSF13B or more commonly as TACI, is a transmembrane receptor protein found predominantly on the surface of B cells, which are an important part of the immune system. TACI controls T cell-independent B cell antibody responses, isotype switching, and B cell homeostasis. TACI is a lymphocyte-specific member of the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) receptor superfamily. It was originally discovered because of its ability to interact with calcium-modulator and cyclophilin ligand(CAML). TACI was later found to play a crucial role in humoral immunity by interacting with two members of the TNF family: BAFF and APRIL. These proteins signal through TACI inducing activation of several transcription factors including NFAT, AP-1, and NF-kappa-B which then modulate cellular activities. Defects in the function of TACI can lead to immune system diseases.;Species reactivity: Human;Application: ELISA;Assay info: ;Sensitivity: <10pg/ml
