RecombinantHuman B-Cell Maturation Antigen
(rHuBCMA)
Catalog Number: C22-103-10
Source: Escherichia coli.
Molecular Weight: Approximately 5.3 KDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 50 amino acids.
Quantity: 5μg/20μg/1000μg
Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses.
Biological Activity: Data Not Available.
Physical Appearance: Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a 0.2μm filtered concentrated solution in 30% acetonitrile, 0.1% TFA.
AA Sequence: AGQCSQNEYF DSLLHACIPC QLRCSSNTPP LTCQRYCNAS VTNSVKGTNA
Endotoxin: Less than 1EU/μg of rHuBCMA as determined by LAL method.
Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the
bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a
concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and
stored at <-20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions.
Storage: This lyophilized preparation is stable at 2-8°C, but should be kept at -20°C for long term storage,
preferably desiccated. Upon reconstitution, the preparation is stable for up to one week at 2-8°C. For
maximal stability, apportion the reconstituted preparation into working aliquots and store at -20°C to
-70°C. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Usage: This material is offered by Shanghai Corning Bio-Tech for research, laboratory or further evaluation purposes. NOT FOR HUMAN USE.
Human B-Cell Maturation Antigen
B-Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA), a member of the TNF receptor superfamily, binds to BAFF and APRIL. BCMA is
expressed on mature B-cells and other B-cell lines and plays an important role in B cell development, function and regulation.
BCMA also has the capability to activate NF-kappaB and JNK. The human BCMA gene codes for a 184 amino acid type I
transmembrane protein, which contains a 54 amino acid extracellular domain, a 23 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 107
amino acid extracellular domain.
