Recombinant Mouse TRANCE (RANKL, TNFSF11) (carrier-free) (Cat. No. 769406) (black circles) induces osteoclast differentiation in mouse RAW.264.7 cells. Ultra-LEAF™ purified anti-mouse CD254 (TRANCE, RANKL) (clone W17172A) (purple squares) inhibits the effect of recombinant mouse TRANCE (RANKL) at 4 ng/mL in RAW.264.7 cells in a dose-dependent manner, as measured by TRAP (tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase) assay. However, the GoInVivo™ purified Rat IgG2a, κ isotype control (Cat. No. 400562) (gray triangles) does not have the effect. ND50 range: 7 - 35 ng/mL

RANKL gene encodes a type II membrane protein of 316 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 35 kD. RANKL is cleaved to produce a soluble form with biological activity. The shedding of membrane-bound RANKL appears to be mediated by expression of MMP14 and ADAM10. Suppression of MMP14 in primary osteoblasts increases membrane-bound RANKL and promotes osteoclastogenesis in cocultures with macrophages. Therefore, RANKL shedding seems to be an important process that down-regulates local osteoclastogenesis. Alternatively, an increased production of RANKL by osteoblastic cells leads to osteoclast differentiation, activation, and survival, which results in increased bone resorption. Binding of RANKL to its receptor RANK activates TNF receptor-associated factor 6 (TRAF6), which is linked to downstream pathways including NF-κB, c-jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) or Src. TRAF6 has been shown to be necessary for the differentiation of osteoclastic cells by enhancing Src kinase, essential for osteoclast function.

- Distribution
-
Predominantly expressed in monocytes, macrophages, polymorphonuclear cells, B cells. Detected in microglial cells and Treg cells. Inducible in keratinocytes and endothelial cells.
- Function
- Potent stimulator of osteoclast formation from precursor cells and bone-resorbing activity in mature osteoclasts. Augments the ability of dendritic cells to stimulate naïve T-cell proliferation. Activates JNK and NF-κB and induces the expression of IL-1, IL-6, IL-12, and IL-15 in dendritic cells. Crucial factor in lymphocyte development and lymph node organogenesis. Stimulates proliferation, adhesion, and IL-7 expression of thymic epithelial cells. RANKL expression, in human and murine osteoblastic cells, is stimulated by various cytokines (IL-1, TNF-α and IL-11) and calciotrophic hormones including PTH, 1, 25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25D3), and prostaglandin E2.
- Interaction
- T cells, dendritic cells, bone marrow derived macrophages, osteoclast precursors and mature osteoclasts
- Ligand/Receptor
- TNFRSF11A (Tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11A) also called RANK and TNFRSF11B (OPG) which acts as a decoy receptor for RANKL and as a potent inhibitor of osteoclast formation.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
