Gene Information

General description

The antibody will neutralize the biological activity of recombinant human OPG. The antibody shows 50% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse OPG.

Immunogen

recombinant human OPG expressed in the insect cell line Sf 21.

Biochem/physiol Actions

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 for determining the bone mass. Excess levels of OPG lead to osteopetrosis while deficiency results in osteoporosis.

Physical form

Lyophilized from 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline containing carbohydrates.

Acta reumatologica portuguesa, 36(3), 209-218 (2011-11-25)
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

Clinical interventions in aging, 5, 345-354 (2011-01-14)
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
W C Dougall et al.
Genes & development, 13(18), 2412-2424 (1999-09-29)
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
