Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human liver tissue using anti sRANK-L antibody (3963) at 5 μg/ml. Tissue was fixed with formaldehyde and blocked with 10% serum for 1 h at RT; antigen retrieval was by heat mediation with a citrate buffer (pH6). Samples were incubated with primary antibody overnight at 4˚

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.

DISCLAIMER:
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user. The information provided is a guideline for product use. This product is for research use only.
Immunogen:
Anti-sRANK-L antibody (3963) was raised against a peptide corresponding to 14 amino acids near the center of human sRANK-L.

The immunogen is located within amino acids 140-190 of sRANK-L.
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.
