SRANK Ligand Antibody

SRANK Ligand Antibody: The receptor activator of NF-κ B ligand (RANK-L) is a recently discovered member of the TNF-ligand family involved in the regulation of the T cell-dependent immune response, lymph node organogenesis and bone formation. RANK-L exists as both a normal, transmembrane form and a truncated, soluble form (sRANK-L), both of which can stimulate the receptor. Activation of T cells, such as by treatment with interleukin-7, induces RANK-L production and leads to an increase of osteoclast formation and bone loss. Finally, sRANK-L can activate the antiapoptotic kinase Akt through a signaling complex involving Src kinase and TRAF6, suggesting sRANK-L may also play a role in regulating apoptosis. This antibody will recognize both the soluble form and the uncleaved transmembrane form of RANK-L.

SRANK Ligand antibody can be stored at 4˚ C for three months and -20˚ C, stable for up to one year. As with all antibodies care should be taken to avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Antibodies should not be exposed to prolonged high temperatures.

Human sRANK-L has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (317aa, 35.5kD), isoform 2 (244aa, 27.7kD) and isoform 3 (270aa, 30.5kD) . Mouse sRANK-L also has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (316aa, 35kD), isoform 2 (287aa, 32.3kD) and isoform 3 (199aa, 22.2kD) . Rat sRANK-L has one isoform (318aa, 38.4kD) . 3963 can detect human, mouse and rat.
