Human B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a cell surface receptor in the TNF receptor superfamily. The recombinant BCMA tetramer protein (CSP-26402.M4-01) is a cis-homotetramer (cis-tetramer) and contains a BCMA extracellular domain (UniProt# Q02223, amino acids Leu2 – Ala54) fused with a proprietary tetramer motif followed by a His tag at the C-terminus. This tetrameric protein is expressed in HEK293T cells. The recombinant human BCMA tetramer protein is bioactive and can bind to B-cell activating factor (BAFF). It also binds BCMA-specific antibodies. This BCMA tetramer can be used as an antigen for in vitro assays including antigen-specific CAR-T detection and antibody screening, and as an immunogen for immunization to generate antibodies targeting more conformational epitopes.

Background and Alternate Names

Human B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a cell surface receptor in the TNF receptor superfamily. BCMA is also known as tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17), BCM, and CD269. BCMA contains a short conserved extracellular domain at the N-terminus called the BCMA TALL-1 binding domain which binds its ligand B-cell activating factor (BAFF). BCMA is expressed primarily on B cells in the later stages of differentiation and is essential for the survival of long-lived plasma cells, however, it is significantly overexpressed in multiple myeloma cells. BCMA has also been implicated in leukemia and lymphomas which has made BCMA a crucial target for therapeutic antibodies and CAR-T therapy.

Alternate Names: tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, TNFRSF17, BCM, CD269, TNFRSF13A, TNF receptor superfamily member 17
