Target Details for BAFF

Target: BAFF (TNFSF13B) (Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 13b (TNFSF13B))

Alternative Name: CD257 / BAFF (TNFSF13B Products)

Background: Members in the TNF superfamily regulate immune responses and induce apoptosis. A novel member in the TNF family was recently identified by several groups and designated BAFF (for B cell Activating Factor belonging to the TNF Family), BLyS (for B Lymphocyte Stimulator), TALL-1 (for TNF- and ApoL-related Leukocyte-expressed Ligand), and THANK (for TNF Homologue that Activate Apoptosis, NF-kappaB and c-jun N-terminal Kinase) (1-4). BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell activator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion (1,2). Three receptors for BAFF were recently identified and designated TACI, BCMA and BAFF-R (5,6). BAFF and its receptors are essential for B cell development, survival, and humoral immune responses. BAFF is involved in the development of autoimmune diseases including systemic lupus erythaematosus and rheumatoid arthritis (5).Synonyms: B cell-activating factor, B lymphocyte stimulator, BAFF, BLYS, Dendritic cell-derived TNF-like molecule, TALL1, TNF- and APOL-related leukocyte expressed ligand 1, TNFSF13B, TNFSF20, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 13B, ZTNF4
