SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	playing a crucial role in humoral immunity by interacting with a TNF ligand
	key regulator of B cell function (Hymowitz 2005)
	its activation in a B cell line results in nuclear factor kappaB and c-Jun NH(2)-terminal kinase activation (Xia (2000)
	TRAF-interacting receptor for TNFSF13B, a tumor necrosis factor family member involved in B cell regulation (Xia 2000)
	triggers immunoglobulin class switching by activating B cells through the adaptor MYD88
	dual roles for TNFRSF13B in B-cell terminal differentiation
	has a dual role in B-cell terminal differentiation in limiting the expansion of GC B cells and mediating the survival of plasma cells
	is likely required for optimal T-cell–dependent humoral immune response
	is required for the survival of plasma cells and not for their differentiation

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	cyclophilin ligand protein CAML
	activator of NFAT
	TNFSF13, TNFSF13B (ligands of TNFRSF13)
	promotes sustained PRDM1 expression by B cells responding to antigen, which in turn limits B-cell clonal expansion and facilitates differentiation of long-lived antibody-secreting cells
	TNFRSF13B binds the cytokines TNFSF13B and ANP32B
	negatively regulates ICOSLG expression on B cells
	TNFRSF13B plays an important role in plasma cells and signals PRDM1 expression
	loss of TNFRSF13B leads to increased ICOSLG expression and expands T follicular helper (Tfh) and germinal center (GC) B cells
	requirement of an intact MYD88-binding site in TNFRSF13B to trigger class switch recombination (CSR)
	TNFRSF13B is released by ADAM10 and reflects B cell activation in autoimmunity

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

	inactivation in mice results in a SLE-like phenotype (Salzer 2007)
	Taci-/- mice had increased numbers of B cells but exhibited decreased antibody responses to T-cell–independent type II antigens
