Description

BAFFR (B- cell-activating factor receptor), also known as CD268 and BR3 (BLyS receptor 3), is a single-pass type III transmembrane glycoprotein in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF13C).  BAFFR contains only one partial TNFR cysteine-rich repeat with 4 cysteine residues in the extracellular region but lacks a cytoplasmic death domain (DD). BAFFR is highly expressed in spleen and lymph node, and in resting B-cells. BAFFR is detected at lower levels in activated B-cells, resting T-cells, in thymus and peripheral blood leukocytes. BAFFR is a B-cell receptor specific for the TNF superfamily ligand, BAFF /TNFSF13B. BAFF promotes the survival of B cells and is essential for B cell maturation.  BAFF binds to3 TNFRSF members: BCMA (B­cell maturation antigen - TNFRSF17), TACI (transmembrane activator and calcium­modulator and cyclophilin ligand interactor -TNFRSF13B) and BAFFR. TACI and BCMA bind BAFF and another TNFSF ligand, APRIL (a proliferation­inducing ligand). In contrast, BAFFR selectively binds BAFF. BAFF knockout mice lack mature B cells while BCMA­ or TACI­deficient mice have no major defect in B­cell development. Mutations in the BAFFR gene are associated with immunodeficiency common variable type 4 (CVID4), which is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. CVID4 results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins.
