| Biochem/physiol Actions: | RANK Ligand (receptor activator of NF-kB ligand (RANKL) also referred to as TNF-related activation induced cytokines (TRANCE) or osteoprotegerin ligand is a protein that belongs to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) family. It stimulates the mature dendritic cells and induces the cytokine production. RANKL also facilitates bone remodelling and possess an angiogenic activity. |
| Biochem/physiol Actions: | RANK Ligand/TRANCE, a member of the TNF superfamily, induces activation of the c-jun N-terminal kinase, enhances T-cell growth and dendritic cell function, induces osteoclastogenesis, and lymph node organogenesis. Mouse and human RANK Ligand share 85% amino acid identity. RANK is the cell surface receptor for RANK Ligand. |
| General description: | Tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11 (Tnfsf11) is also known as receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL). It is a type II transmembrane signaling receptor. It has a molecular weight of around 35kDa. This protein contains an amino-terminal intracellular tail and a carboxy-terminal extracellular region, that bears a connecting stalk and a receptor-binding domain. Tnfsf11 is located on human chromosome 13q14.11. |
| Physical form: | Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 20 mM MOPS and 500 mM NaCl, pH 6.5, with 50 μg BSA per 1 μg as a carrier protein. |
