QuickView for b cell maturation antigen (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- TNFRSF17
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- TNF receptor superfamily member 17
- Synonyms:
- BCM, BCMA, CD269, TNFRSF13A, tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 17, B cell maturation antigen, B-cell maturation factor, B-cell maturation protein
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 16: 11966465-11969426
- Description:
-
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptor is preferentially expressed in mature B lymphocytes, and may be important for B cell development and autoimmune response. This receptor has been shown to specifically bind to the tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 13b (TNFSF13B/TALL-1/BAFF), ...
