TNFRSF11B (TR1, OCIF, OPG, Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor, Osteoprotegerin)

Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (TNFRSF11B), also known as OPG, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFRSF11B gene. OPG is a cytokine receptor, and a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily. By analysis of radiation hybrids, TNFRSF11B gene was mapped to chromosome 8q24. OPG is a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL). By binding RANKL, OPG inhibits nuclear kappa B (NF-kB) which is a central and rapid acting transcription factor for immune-related genes, and a key regulator of inflammation, innate immunity, and cell survival and differentiation. OPG binding to RANKL on osteoblast/stromal cells, blocks the RANKL-RANK ligand interaction between osteoblast/stromal cells and ostepclast precursors.\n\nUniProt Number:\nO00300\n\nGene ID:\nTNFRSF11B\n\nApplications:\nSuitable for use in Western Blot.\n\nRecommended Dilution:\nOptimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.\n\nStorage and Handling:\nStore at -20?C for one year.
