sRANKL Mouse Recombinant produced in E.coli is single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 174 amino acids and having a total molecular mass of 19.9kDa.CD254 is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
RANKL 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. sRANKL may also play an important role in enhanced bone-resorption in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized sRANKL in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. Measured by its ability to induce osteoclast formation on murine RAW264.7 cells using a concentration of 50ng/ml shown in “Corning® Osteo Assay Surface 24 Well Plates with Transwell® Permeable Supports- A Useful Tool for Co-Culture Studies” by Rebecca M. Wood and Mark Rothenber, corresponding to a specific activity of 20,000Units/mg.
