B Cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA) is a transmembrane signaling protein preferentially expressed on plasma cells. Its ligands include BCell Activating Factor (BAFF) and A Proliferation Inducing Ligand (APRIL). BCMA is involved in JNK and NF-kB activation pathways that induce Bcell development and autoimmune responses. BCMA has been implicated in autoimmune disorders as well as B-lymphocyte malignancies.
