Mouse TNFSF11 Recombinant Protein

About this product

Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 (TNFSF11), also known as Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor Kappa-B Ligand (RANKL), is a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) ligand family. RANKL regulates bone remodeling and the development of the thymus, lymph nodes and mammary glands. Mouse TNFSF11 (RANKL) Recombinant Protein is purified TNFSF11 (RANKL) produced in yeast.

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 (By similarity) . Induces osteoclastogenesis by activating multiple signaling pathways in osteoclast precursor cells, chief among which is induction of long lasting oscillations in the intracellular concentration of Ca (2+) resulting in the activation of NFATC1, which translocates to the nucleus and induces osteoclast-specific gene transcription to allow differentiation of osteoclasts (PubMed:24039232) . During osteoclast differentiation, in a TMEM64 and ATP2A2-dependent manner induces activation of CREB1 and mitochondrial ROS generation necessary for proper osteoclast generation (PubMed:23395171, PubMed:26644563) .
