RANK (TRANCE-R; CD265) is the receptor for RANKL/TRANCE/OPGL. It is essential for RANKL-mediated osteoclastogenesis and is involved in the regulation of interactions between T cells and dendritic cells.
Human RANK (aa 29-213) is fused at the C-terminus to the Fc portion of human IgG1.
Biological Activity:
Inhibits human rhsRANKL biological functions.
