anti-CD254 / RANKL antibody [IK22/5]
anti-CD254 / RANKL antibody [IK22/5] for Flow cytometry,ICC/IF,IHC-Frozen sections,Immunoprecipitation,Western blot and Mouse
Overview
| Product Description | Rat Monoclonal antibody [IK22/5] recognizes CD254 / RANKL. This product recognizes CD254, otherwise known as Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) or TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), a member of the tumour necrosis factor ligand superfamily. CD254 is a cytokine that binds osteoprotegerin or RANK and plays an important role in bone metabolism, where it acts as an osteoclast differentiation and activation factor. Overproduction of CD254 is implicated in a range of degenerative bone diseases. CD254 is also expressed by T helper cells and augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naïve T cell proliferation. It may play a role in regulating interactions between T cells and dendritic cells and in the regulation of T cell-dependent immune responses.Rat anti Mouse CD254 antibody, clone IK22/5 blocks ligand binding. |

Swiss-port # O35235 Mouse Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 |
|---|---|
| Gene Symbol | TNFSF11 |
| Gene Full Name | tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11 |
| Background | This gene encodes 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. 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 this protein may have a role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. Targeted disruption of the related gene in mice led to severe osteopetrosis and a lack of osteoclasts. The deficient mice exhibited defects in early differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and failed to form lobulo-alveolar mammary structures during pregnancy. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] |
| Function | Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF11B/OPG and to TNFRSF11A/RANK. Osteoclast differentiation and activation factor. Augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T-cell proliferation. May be an important regulator of interactions between T-cells and dendritic cells and may play a role in the regulation of the T-cell-dependent immune response. May also play an important role in enhanced bone-resorption in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. [UniProt] |
| Calculated MW | 35 kDa |
| PTM | The soluble form of isoform 1 derives from the membrane form by proteolytic processing (By similarity). The cleavage may be catalyzed by ADAM17. [UniProt] |
