Description
B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a transmembrane glycoprotein that is predominantly expressed by mature B lymphocytes and mediates B cell survival. However, aberrant expression of BCMA contributes to malignant plasma cell survival promoting malignancy in cancer diseases, including leukemia, lymphomas, and most prominently multiple myeloma. Consequently, BCMA has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for the development of novel treatments for multiple myeloma.
