Product Details anti-RANKL Antibody (Biotin)

Specificity: This antibody detects RANKL.

Purification: Affinity chromatography

Immunogen: Highly pure (> 98 %) recombinant human sRANKL

Application Details

Application Notes: ELISA: Direct: To detect hsRANKL by direct ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL is required. In conjunction with compatible secondaryreagents, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well of recombinant hsRANKL. Sandwich: To detect hsRANKL by sandwich ELISA (using 100 μL/well antibody solution) aconcentration of 0.25 - 1.0 μg/mL is required. In conjunction with Polyclonal Anti-HumansRANKL as a capture antibody, it allows the detection of at least 0.2 - 0.4 ng/well ofrecombinant hsRANKL. Western Blot: To detect hsRANKL by Western Blot analysis this antibody can be used at aconcentration of 0.1 - 0.2 μg/mL. Used in conjunction with compatible secondary reagentsthe detection limit for recombinant hsRANKL is 1.5 - 3.0 ng/lane, under either reducing ornon-reducing conditions.

Restrictions: For Research Use only

Target Details for RANKL

Target: RANKL (TNFSF11) (Tumor Necrosis Factor (Ligand) Superfamily, Member 11 (TNFSF11))

Alternative Name: CD254 / RANKL

Background: RANKL is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family which is a ligand for osteoprotegerin and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. There are three isoforms of RANKL. Human RANKL is a soluble 20 kDa polypeptide, comprising the TNF homologous region of RANKL (176 amino acid residues). This protein was shown to be a dentritic cell survival factor and is involved in the regulation of T cell dependent immune response. T cell activation was reported to induce expression of this gene and lead to an increase of osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. This protein was shown to activate antiapoptotic kinase AKT/PKB through a signaling complex involving SRC kinase and tumor necrosis factor receptor associated factor (TRAF) 6, which indicated that this protein may have a role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. RANKL deficient mice show severe osteoporesis and complete absence of osteoclasts as a result of lack of osteogenesis.Synonyms: ODF, OPGL, Osteoclast differentiation factor, Osteoprotegerin ligand, RANK Ligand, RANKL, Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand, TNF-related activation-induced cytokine, TNFSF11, TRANCE, Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11
