RANKL/TNFSF11 Protein, Human (HEK293, His-Flag)

Cat. No.: HY-P78376
COA Handling Instructions

RANKL (TNFSF11), a type II transmembrane protein, is a receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand. RANKL is an activator of RANK. When binding to RANK, it induces the differentiation of monocyte/macrophage-lineage cells into osteoclasts and leads to osteoclast precursor maturation. RANKL is critical for osteoclasts maturation, bone modeling, and bone remodeling, as well as the development of lymph nodes (LNs). RANKL/TNFSF11 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is a recombinant human RANKL (G63-D244) with N-terminal his and flag tag, which is produced in HEK293.

Description

RANKL (TNFSF11), a type II transmembrane protein, is a receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand. RANKL is an activator of RANK. When binding to RANK, it induces the differentiation of monocyte/macrophage-lineage cells into osteoclasts and leads to osteoclast precursor maturation. RANKL is critical for osteoclasts maturation, bone modeling, and bone remodeling, as well as the development of lymph nodes (LNs). RANKL/TNFSF11 Protein, Human (HEK293, hFc) is a recombinant human RANKL (G63-D244) with N-terminal his and flag tag, which is produced in HEK293[1][2].

Background

RANKL (TNFSF11) belongs to TNF family. RANKL is a type II transmembrane protein and is a receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK) ligand. RANKL is an activator of RANK. RANKL binds to RANK and induces the differentiation of monocyte/macrophage-lineage cells into osteoclasts and leads to osteoclast precursor maturation. In bone tissue, RANKL is expressed by osteoblasts, osteocytes and immune cells, especially in osteoblasts and osteocytes[1]. RANKL is also expressed by T cells and increases proliferation and survival of dendritic cells[2].
Human RANKL shares 82.02% and 84.44% common aa identity with mouse and rat respectively. Human RANKL consists of cytoplasmic domain (1-47), helical domain (48-68), and extracellular domain (69-317). The soluble chain (140-317) is released when cleaved by enzymes such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMP3 or 7) and ADAM[1][3].
RANKL is critical for osteoclasts maturation, bone modeling, and bone remodeling, as well as the development of lymph nodes (LNs)[1].

In Vitro

RANKL (human, 0-50 ng/mL, 24 h) stimulates migration of a clear cell RCC cell line, Caki-1[4].
RANKL (human, 24 h) stimulates PAa cell migration and invasion[5].

In Vivo

RANKL (human, 0.4 or 2 mg/kg/day, s.c.) induces high bone turnover and decreases bone volume, density, and strength in C57BL/6J female mice[6].

Biological Activity

Immobilized Human RANKL, His Tag at 2 μg/mL (100 μl/well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human TNFRSF11A, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 13.3 ng/mL determined by ELISA.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.

  • Reconstitution Calculator

  • Dilution Calculator

  • Specific Activity Calculator

The reconstitution calculator equation

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration

Volume (to add to vial) = Mass (in vial) ÷ Desired Reconstitution Concentration
= ÷

The dilution calculator equation

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)

This equation is commonly abbreviated as: C1V1 = C2V2

Concentration (start) × Volume (start) = Concentration (final) × Volume (final)
× = ×
C1   V1   C2   V2

The specific activity calculator equation

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)

Specific Activity (Unit/mg) = 106 ÷ Biological Activity (ED50)
Unit/mg = 106 ÷ ng/mL
