BAFF Receptor

BAFF Receptor (B-cell activating factor receptor, BAFF-R), also known as TNFRSF13C and BR3, is a membrane protein of the TNF receptor superfamily which recognizes BAFF. BAFF Receptor is the crucial receptor for B-cell survival and also is a potent costimulator of both B and T cell activation[1]. BAFF/BAFF-R activates the NF-κB2 signaling pathway and is crucial for primary B cell survival, differentiation and homeostasis[2].
