Beschreibung

Allgemeine Beschreibung

B-cell maturation antigen (BCMA), commonly known as TNFRSF17 (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17), is an N-glycosylated membrane glycoprotein. It is predominantly expressed on the surface of plasma cells, and is also expressed on certain cancers such as, glioblastoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, Hodgkin′s lymphoma and multiple myeloma.

Immunogen

a synthetic peptide mapping at the carboxy-terminus of human BCMA.

Biochem./physiol. Wirkung

TNFRSF17 (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17) is essential for the maintenance of the survival of long-lived plasma cells in bone marrow. Its expression in peripheral blood B-cells is induced by cytokines. It gets activated by a proliferation-inducing ligand (APRIL) or B-cell–activating factor (BAFF), and gets trimerized to activate MAPK (mitogen activated kinases) and anti-apoptotic proteins. It is an appropriate target for T-cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), and is a promising candidate for adoptive T-cell therapy of multiple myeloma. This protein is directly cleaved and shed by γ-secretase enzyme, and this is linked with level of plasma cells in bone marrow. Thus, shedding of TNFRSF17 is a candidate biomarker for B-cell involvement in autoimmune diseases. This protein is thought to be a major contributor of spinal cord-injury induced autoimmunity.
