Relevance 

Members of 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), TALL1 (for TNF- and ApoL- related Leukocyte-expressed Ligand), and THANK (for TNF Homologue that Activate Apoptosis, NFkB and c-jun N-terminal Kinase). BAFF/BLyS was characterized as a B cell stimulator since it induced B cell proliferation and immunoglobulin secretion. Two receptors for BAFF were recently identified and designated TACI and BCMA. BAFF also signals through a third TNF receptor BAFFR/BR3. BAFF and its receptors are involved in the development of systemic lupus erythaematosus and other B cell associated autoimmune diseases. Like TNFa and TRAIL, THANK was shown to activate NF-kB and c-jun N terminal kinase (JNK) and to induce apoptosis.

The human BAFF gene codes for a 285 amino acid type II transmembrane protein containing a 46 amino acid cytoplasmic domain, a 21 amino acid transmembrane domain, and a 218 amino acid extracellular domain.
