Description

sRANKL Mouse Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 160 amino acids (158-316 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 17.9kDa. sRANKL is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Product Specs

Introduction
RANKL is a protein that plays a crucial role in bone remodeling and immune system regulation. It binds to two receptors: TNFRSF11B/OPG and TNFRSF11A/RANK. This interaction is essential for the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts, cells responsible for bone resorption. Moreover, RANKL enhances the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate the proliferation of naive T-cells, contributing to the regulation of the immune response. Notably, sRANKL, a soluble form of RANKL, might be involved in the heightened bone resorption observed in humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy.
Description

Recombinant Mouse sRANKL, produced in E. coli, is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain encompassing amino acids 158-316. With a molecular weight of 17.9 kDa, it is purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless solution.
Formulation

This product consists of sRANKL protein solution at a concentration of 1 mg/ml. It is formulated in Tris-HCl buffer with a pH of 8.5 and 0.1M NaCl.

Stability

For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product should be kept at 4°C. For extended periods, storage at -20°C is recommended. Adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA) is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Soluble Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-B Ligand (sRANKL) is a crucial protein involved in bone metabolism and immune system regulation. The specific variant, Soluble RANK Ligand (158-316 a.a) (Mouse Recombinant), is a recombinant protein produced in Escherichia coli (E. coli) and is widely used in research to study its biological functions and therapeutic potential.

Protein Structure and Production

The Soluble RANK Ligand (158-316 a.a) (Mouse Recombinant) is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain consisting of 159 amino acids, with a molecular mass of approximately 19 kDa . The protein is expressed in E. coli and purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques to achieve a purity greater than 95% as determined by SDS-PAGE .

Biological Activity

sRANKL binds to its receptors, TNFRSF11B (osteoprotegerin) and TNFRSF11A (RANK), playing a pivotal role in osteoclast differentiation and activation . This interaction is essential for bone resorption and remodeling. Additionally, sRANKL enhances the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T-cell proliferation, indicating its importance in the regulation of T-cell-dependent immune responses .

Applications in Research

The recombinant sRANKL is used extensively in research to study its effects on bone metabolism and immune system regulation. It is particularly valuable in investigating conditions such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer-induced bone diseases. The protein’s ability to induce osteoclast differentiation makes it a critical tool for understanding bone resorption mechanisms and developing potential therapeutic interventions .

Storage and Stability

Lyophilized sRANKL is stable at room temperature for up to three weeks but should be stored desiccated below -18°C for long-term stability . Upon reconstitution, the protein should be stored at 4°C for short-term use (2-7 days) and below -18°C for long-term use. To prevent freeze-thaw cycles, it is recommended to add a carrier protein such as human serum albumin (HSA) or bovine serum albumin (BSA) .
