RANK BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Human

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Human RANK in cell culture supernates and serum.\n\nReceptor Activator of Nuclear Factor k B (RANK), also known as TRANCE Receptor, is a type I membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of osteoclasts and is involved in their activation upon ligand binding. RANK is a recently described TNF receptor family member, and its ligand, RANKL, promote survival of dendritic cells and differentiation of osteoclasts. RANK contains 383 amino acids in its intracellular domain (residues 234-616), which contain three putative TRAF-binding domains (termed I, II, and III). RANK interacts with various TRAFs through distinct motifs and activates NF-kappaB via a novel TRAF6 interaction motif, which then activates NIK, thus leading to NF-kappaB activation, whereas RANK most likely activates JNK through a TRAF2-interacting region in RANK. The standard in this kit is recombinant human RANK with the sequence of Q29-G213 aa. It is a dipolymer which compose of two chains, and the molecular weight of each is 48kD.\n\nAssay Range:\n62.5pg/ml-4000pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n< 2 pg/ml\n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nP19838\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n4790\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-RANK, Human\nLyophilized recombinant RANK, Human standard, 10ng/tube, 2Ea\nUSB Cat No Kit Component\n143696 Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex (ABC), 130ul (1:100 dilution)\n143697 Sample diluent buffer, 30ml\n143698 Antibody diluent buffer, 12ml\n143699 ABC diluent buffer, 12ml\n143700 TMB color developing agent, 10ml\n143701 TMB stop solution, 10ml\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at 4 degrees C for 6 months, at -20 degrees C for 12 months.
