APRIL, or TNFSF13, stands for “A Proliferation-Inducing Ligand.” It is a member of the TNF superfamily of ligands, closely related to BAFF, with which it shares 30% amino acid sequence identity. APRIL is cleaved intracellularly by furin, and is believed to exist mainly as a secreted, soluble form. APRIL exists as a functional homotrimer (total MW = 90 kD). It can bind to two cell-surface receptors: BCMA and TACI, which it shares with BAFF, to exert downstream T- and B-cell regulatory effects. It also possesses a heparin binding domain and has been demonstrated to bind to proteoglycans on the cell surface. APRIL is known for its tumor proliferation effects. It is a potential biomarker, with serum levels elevated for certain cancers, and expression levels elevated in cancer tissues. It is also a potential biomarker for certain autoimmune diseases.
