Recombinant Human B cell activating factor (BAFF), is a Type II member of the TNF superfamily. Although it is typically a transmembrane protein expressed on T cells, macrophages and dendritic cells, it can also be cleaved in the extracellular region to produce a soluble form detectable in the serum. BAFF is thought to be important for the survival and maturation of peripheral B cells. This recombinant human BAFF contains the TNF-like domain.
