Product Description:

Protein Description:

RANKL and RANK are members of the TNF superfamily of ligands and receptors that is critical for the regulation of specific immunity and bone turnover. RANK receptor was originally identified as a dendritic cell-membrane protein, which, by interacting with RANKL, augments the ability of dendritic cells. These dendritic cells then stimulate na ve T-cell proliferation in a mixed lymphocyte reaction, promote the survival of RANK+ T-cells, and regulate T-cell-dependent immune response. RANKL, which is expressed in a variety of cells, including osteoblasts, fibroblasts, activated T-cells and bone marrow stromal cells, is also capable of interacting with a decoy receptor called OPG.

Activity:

Measure by its ability to induce osteoclast differentiation in RAW264.7 cells. The ED50 for this effect is <10 ng/mL.

Endotoxin level: <0.1 EU per 1 ug of the protein by the LAL method.

Calculated Molecular Weight: 20.67 kDa

Formulation: The protein was lyophilized from a solution containing 1X PBS, pH 8.0.

Reconstitution:

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized protein in sterile H2O to a concentration not less than 100 ug/mL and incubate the stock solution for at least 20 min to ensure sufficient re-dissolved.

Shipping: Blue Ice

Stability and Storage:

Lyophilized protein should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius for 1 year. Upon reconstitution, store at 2 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius for up to 1 week. Further dilute in a buffer containing a carrier protein or stabilizer (e.g. 0.1% BSA, 10%FBS, 5%HSA or 5% trehalose solution), protein aliquots should be stored at -20 degrees Celsius or -80 degrees Celsius for 3-6 months.
