General description
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) secreted by osteoblasts and osteogenis stromal stem cells belongs to the TNF receptor superfamily. OPG is expressed in bone marrow, osteoblasts, heart, lung, kidney, thymus, B lymphocytes, chondrocytes and smooth muscle cells. The ratio of OPG and receptor activator of NF-κB Ligand (RANKL) is crucial determining the bone mass. Receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK)/RANKL/OPG axis decides the bone biology. OPG binds RANKL and prevents the activation of osteoclasts, the cells that deplete bone mass. Excess levels of OPG lead to osteopetrosis while deficiency results in osteoporosis. The RANK/RANKL/OPG pathway mediates the activation of multiple pathways such as NF-κB, Akt, JNK, and MAPK
Anti-osteoprotegerin specifically reacts with recombinant mouse OPG. The antibody may cross react with human OPG (25% homology).

Specificity
The antibody has the ability to neutralize the biological activity of recombinant mouse OPG.
Immunogen
purified recombinant mouse osteoprotegerin expressed in mouse NSO cells.
Application
Anti-osteoprotegerin antibody may be used to neutralize mouse OPG at neutralization dose (ND50) of 0.5-2 μg/ml. The antibody is suitable for immunoblotting at a working concentration of 0.1-0.2 μg/ml.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Understanding of osteoclast formation and activation has advanced considerably since the discovery of the RANKL/RANK/OPG system in the mid 1990s. Osteoblasts and stromal stem cells express receptor activator of NF-jB ligand (RANKL), which binds to its receptor, RANK, on the

The discovery of the receptor activator of nuclear factor-kB (RANK)/RANK Ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) pathway contributed to the understanding of how bone formation and resorption were processed and regulated. RANKL and OPG are members of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and

Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a common cardiac defect, particularly in the aging population. While several risk factors, such as bi-leaflet valve structure and old age, have been identified in CAVD pathogenesis, molecular mechanisms resulting in this condition are

Bone remodeling requires a precise balance between resorption and formation. It is a complex process that involves numerous factors: hormones, growth factors, vitamins, and cytokines, and notably osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator for nuclear factor-κB (RANK) ligand. The signaling pathway

The physiological role of the TNF receptor (TNFR) family member, RANK, was investigated by generating RANK-deficient mice. RANK(-/-) mice were characterized by profound osteopetrosis resulting from an apparent block in osteoclast differentiation. RANK expression was not required for the commitment
