TNFSF11/RANKL BioAssay(TM) ELISA Kit, Mouse

Sandwich ELISA quantitative detection kit for Mouse TNFSF11/RANKL in cell culture supernates, serum and plasma (heparin, EDTA).\n\nReceptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand(RANKL), also known as tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 (TNFSF11), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TNFSF11 gene. This gene encodes a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family which is a ligand for osteoprotegerin and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. This gene is mapped to chromosome13q14.11. Targeted disruption of the related gene in mice led to severe osteopetrosis and a lack of osteoclasts. The deficient mice exhibited defects in early differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and failed to form lobulo-alveolar mammary structures during pregnancy. This gene may play an important role in enhanced bone-resorption in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.\n\nAssay Range:\n62.5pg/ml-4000pg/ml\n\nSensitivity:\n < 10 pg/ml \n\nCrossreactivity:\nThere is no detectable cross-reactivity with other relevant proteins.\n\nUniprot ID:\nO35235\n\nEntrez Gene ID:\n21943\n\nKit Components:\n96-well plate pre-coated with anti-TNFSF11/RANKL, Mouse\nLyophilized recombinant TNFSF11/RANKL, Mouse 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.
