RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand) is a member of the tumor necrosis factor superfamily (TNFSF11). RANKL/TNFSF11 is a single-pass type II transmebrane glycoprotein consisting of a 47 amino acid (aa) cytoplasmic domain, a transmembrane domain and a 249 aa extracellular domain (ECD). RANKL/TNFSF11 may be released into the extracellular fluid, probably by cleavage form the cell surface. RANKL/TNFSF11 is a ligand for osteoprotegerin (OPG) and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. RANKL/TNFSF11 was shown to be a dentritic cell survival factor and is involved in the regulation of T cell-dependent immune response. T cell activation was reported to induce expression of RANKL/TNFSF11 and lead to an increase of osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. RANKL/TNFSF11 may have a role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. Targeted disruption of the RANKL/TNFSF11 gene in mice led to severe osteopetrosis and a lack of osteoclasts. The deficient mice exhibited defects in early differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and failed to form lobulo-alveolar mammary structures during pregnancy.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
