Mouse anti-Human RANK Monoclonal Antibody | anti-RANK antibody
RANK antibody (mAb)(Clone 9A725)
WB: 1-2ug/ml dilution
For optimal results, primary antibody incubations should be performed at room temperature. The addition of 0.1% Tween 20 to all blocking solutions may also reduce background.
Background: RANK (TNFRSF11A, CD265, PDB2, TRANCER) can interact with various TRAF family proteins (TRAF2, TRAF5), through which this receptor induces the activation of NFkB and MAPK8/JNK. RANK and its ligand are important regulators of the interaction between T cells and dendritic cells. RANK is also an essential mediator for osteoclast and lymph node development. Studies of the mouse counterpart suggest that this receptor directly mediates the osteoprotegerin (OPG) ligand (OPGL)-induced oteoclastogenesis in osteoclast precursor cells.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the TNF-receptor superfamily. This receptors can interact with various TRAF family proteins, through which this receptor induces the activation of NF-kappa B and MAPK8/JNK. This receptor and its ligand are important regulators of the interaction between T cells and dendritic cells. This receptor is also an essential mediator for osteoclast and lymph node development. Mutations at this locus have been associated with familial expansile osteolysis, autosomal recessive osteopetrosis, and Paget disease of bone. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
Uniprot Description
TNFRSF11A: Receptor for TNFSF11/RANKL/TRANCE/OPGL; essential for RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis. Involved in the regulation of interactions between T-cells and dendritic cells. Binds to the clefts between the subunits of the TNFSF11 ligand trimer to form a heterohexamer. Interacts with TRAF1, TRAF2, TRAF3, TRAF5 and TRAF6. Interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with GAB2. Ubiquitous expression with high levels in skeletal muscle, thymus, liver, colon, small intestine and adrenal gland.

Product Notes
The RANK tnfrsf11a (Catalog #AAA388678) is an Antibody produced from Mouse and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The RANK antibody (mAb)(Clone 9A725) reacts with Human and may cross-react with other species as described in the data sheet. AAA Biotech's RANK can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Western Blot (WB). Applications Validated: WB: 1-2ug/ml dilution For optimal results, primary antibody incubations should be performed at room temperature. The addition of 0.1% Tween 20 to all blocking solutions may also reduce background. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the RANK tnfrsf11a for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "RANK, Monoclonal Antibody" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
