Cat#:EIA-272C;Product Name:Mouse OPG ELISA Kit;Size:96T;Sample:serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell culture supernates and other biological fluids;Intended use:RUO;Synonym:Tnfsf11; tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11; ODF; OPG; OPGL; RANKL; Ly109l; Trance; tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11; OPG ligand; osteoprotegerin ligand; osteoclast differentiation factor; receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand; TNF-related activation-induced cytokine; receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand; receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand; tumor necrosis factor-related activation-induced cytokine;Background:Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is a member of the TNF receptor superfamily. This protein is an osteoblast-secreted decoy receptor that functions as a negative regulator of bone resorption. This protein specifically binds to its ligand, osteoprotegerin ligand (TNFSF11/OPGL), both of which are key extracellular regulators of osteoclast development. Studies of the mouse counterpart also suggest this protein and its ligand play a role in lymph-node organogenesis and vascular calcification. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of the gene have been reported, but their full length nature has not been determined.;Species Reactivity:Mouse;Application:quantitative;Storage:Unopened Kit: Store at 2 - 8°C.
