Advanced Validation
- VALIDATION:
Recombinant Protein Test (Figure 3): Anti-sRANK-L antibodies (3963) detected human sRANK-L recombinant protein at different concentrations.
Induced expression validation (Figure 6): sRANK-L expression detected by anit-sRANK-L antibodies (3963) was up-regulated after 18hr by extraction of upper jaw molars in rat osteogenic cells.
- ISOFORMS: Human sRANK-L has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (317aa, 35.5kD), isoform 2 (244aa, 27.7kD) and isoform 3 (270aa, 30.5kD). Mouse sRANK-L also has 3 isoforms, including isoform 1 (316aa, 35kD), isoform 2 (287aa, 32.3kD) and isoform 3 (199aa, 22.2kD). Rat sRANK-L has one isoform (318aa, 38.4kD). 3963 can detect human, mouse and rat.

Background
- sRANK Ligand Antibody: The receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANK-L) is a recently discovered member of the TNF-ligand family involved in the regulation of the T cell-dependent immune response, lymph node organogenesis and bone formation. RANK-L exists as both a normal, transmembrane form and a truncated, soluble form (sRANK-L), both of which can stimulate the receptor. Activation of T cells, such as by treatment with interleukin-7, induces RANK-L production and leads to an increase of osteoclast formation and bone loss. Finally, sRANK-L can activate the antiapoptotic kinase Akt through a signaling complex involving Src kinase and TRAF6, suggesting sRANK-L may also play a role in regulating apoptosis. This antibody will recognize both the soluble form and the uncleaved transmembrane form of RANK-L.
