Structural highlights

Disease

TR13C_HUMAN Defects in TNFRSF13C are the cause of immunodeficiency common variable type 4 (CVID4) [MIM:613494; also called antibody deficiency due to BAFFR defect. CVID4 is a primary immunodeficiency characterized by antibody deficiency, hypogammaglobulinemia, recurrent bacterial infections and an inability to mount an antibody response to antigen. The defect results from a failure of B-cell differentiation and impaired secretion of immunoglobulins; the numbers of circulating B-cells is usually in the normal range, but can be low.^[1]

Function

TR13C_HUMAN B-cell receptor specific for TNFSF13B/TALL1/BAFF/BLyS. Promotes the survival of mature B-cells and the B-cell response.^{[2] [3]}
