Osteoprotegerin polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Quantity: 100 µg

Background:
Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B(TNFRSF11B), also known as OPG, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF11B gene. OPG is a cytokine receptor, and a member of the tumor necrosis factor(TNF) receptor superfamily. By analysis of radiation hybrids, TNFRSF11B gene was mapped to chromosome 8q24. OPG is a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand(RANKL). By binding RANKL, OPG inhibits nuclear kappa B(NF-kappa B) which is a central and rapid acting transcription factor for immune-related genes, and a key regulator of inflammation, innate immunity, and cell survival and differentiation. OPG binding to RANKL on osteoblast/stromal cells, blocks the RANKL-RANK ligand interaction between osteoblast/stromal cells and ostepclast precursors.
