TNF receptor superfamily member 17 (TNFRSF17) is a single-pass transmembrane glycoprotein encoded by the TNFRSF17 gene, composed of multiple extracellular cysteine-rich receptor domains, a transmembrane segment and cytoplasmic death-domain-associated signaling tail, and acts as an obligate accessory subunit for B cell-specific TNF ligand receptor complexes. TNFRSF17 is widely expressed across mature B lymphocytes, plasma cells and lymphoid stromal cell populations, serving as a core scaffold mediating receptor heterodimer formation and downstream lymphoid survival kinase recruitment upon TNF ligand stimulation.
TNFRSF17 exerts its biological effects through stable heterodimeric assembly with primary TNF receptor chains, a mechanism that modulates ligand binding stability and intracellular lymphoid signal cascade activation efficiency. Unlike ligand-binding primary TNF receptors, TNFRSF17 cannot bind TNF superfamily cytokines independently and relies on receptor dimerization to initiate full signal output; it recruits cytoplasmic signal mediators to assembled receptor complexes, uncoupling extracellular ligand recognition from intracellular lymphoid transcription factor activation and sustaining persistent lymphocyte survival signals. This dual regulation modulates the intensity of lymphoid proliferative responses after cytokine stimulation, fine-tuning local B cell activation and survival mediator secretion levels, while sustained abnormal TNFRSF17-mediated signal transmission drives excessive lymphoid expansion and proliferative lesions. TNFRSF17 participates in key physiological and pathological processes including B cell maturation, humoral immune maintenance, cytokine-mediated lymphoid hyperplasia and chronic lymphoproliferative disorders. Dysregulation of TNFRSF17 expression or receptor dimerization capacity is closely associated with unregulated lymphocyte proliferation and impaired humoral immune defense, making TNFRSF17 a crucial research target for TNF superfamily signaling, B cell immunity and lymphatic disease research.

Beyond catalog products, Creative Biolabs offers specialized custom services for TNFRSF17 research:
TNFRSF17 is a B cell TNF co-receptor that directly heterodimerizes with BAFF/APRIL primary receptors to modulate cytokine-driven lymphocyte survival signal amplitude, balance lymphoid tissue proliferative dynamics, and mediate sustained humoral immune activation upon ligand stimulation.
TNFRSF17 is a core regulator of BAFF/APRIL lymphoid signaling and humoral immune homeostasis, and its dysregulation is associated with unregulated B cell expansion and chronic lymphoproliferative lesions. It is a critical target for TNF superfamily and B cell immunity research.
No, all TNFRSF17 products and services are strictly for research use only, not intended for clinical diagnosis or treatment.
Offerings include TNFRSF17 proteins (full-length, extracellular cysteine-rich domain variants), specific recombinant antibodies, and custom stable lymphoid cell lines, supporting B cell and lymphoproliferative disorder research.
TNFRSF17 proteins are validated by TNF receptor heterodimer binding assays and lymphoid survival signal regulation verification to ensure native regulatory function in humoral immune research.
