RANK (receptor activator of NFκB), also known as CD265 and ODFR, is a single-pass type I membrane glycoprotein in the tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily (TNFRSF11A). RANK contains 4 TNFR cysteine-rich repeats in the extracellular region but lacks a cytoplasmic death domain (DD). RANK is ubiquitously expressed with high levels in skeletal muscle, thymus, liver, colon, small intestine and adrenal gland. TRANCE (TNFrelated activationinduced cytokines), also known as OPGL (osteoprotegerin ligand) and ODF (osteoclast differentiation factor), is the ligand for RANK (RANKL). RANK and RANKL are important regulators of the interaction between T cells and dendritic cells for the enhancement of T cell growth and dendritic cell function. They are also essential mediators for osteoclast and lymph node development. Mutations in RANK are associated with familial expansile osteolysis (FEO), Paget disease of bone type 2 (PDB2), and osteopetrosis autosomal recessive type 7 (OPTB7). FEO is a rare autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by focal areas of increased bone remodeling. PDB2 is a bone-remodeling disorder with clinical similarities to FEO. OPTB7 is characterized by abnormally dense bone, due to defective resorption of immature bone. Soluble RANK is able to block RANKL-induced biological activity. RANK can interact with various TRAF family proteins, through which this receptor induces the activation of NF-κB and JNK pathways.
Gene Symbol: TNFRSF11A; CD265; FEO; OFE; ODFR; OSTS; PDB2; OPTB7; TRANCER; LOH18CR1
NCBI Gene ID: 8792
Uniprot Entry: Q9Y6Q6
Construct Details: Full length human RANK gene is subcloned into the Lentiviral expression vector pLTC with an upstream CMV promoter, which can be used for both transient and stable expression in mammalian cells. It can be co-transfected with the LentiPAK DNA mix (SKU# LP-001) into HEK293 cells to produce high titer lentiviral particles.
Vector Type: pLTC (lentiviral expression vector containing a heterologous CMV promoter, see the vector map above)
Formulation: Supplied with 10 μg of endotoxin-free plasmid DNA at 200 ng/μl in sterile TE buffer (pH8.0)

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’-CGGGAAGCAATAGCATGATA-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.
