Description
Recombinant Osteoprotegerin produced in baculovirus is a signle, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 389 amino acid residues (22-401 a.a.), having a calculated molecular mass of 44.7 kDa. The Osteoprotegerin is fused to a 6 amino acid His tag at C-terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Synonyms
TNFRSF11B, OPG, OCIF, Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor, Osteoprotegerin, TR1, MGC29565.
Introduction
Osteoprotegerin acts as decoy receptor for rankl and thereby neutralizes its function in osteoclastogenesis. OPG inhibits the activation of osteoclasts and promotes osteoclast apoptosis in vitro. Bone homeostasis seems to depend on the local rankl/opg ratio. Osteoprotegerin may also play a role in preventing arterial calcification. May act as decoy receptor for trail and protect against apoptosis. Trail binding blocks the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered colorless clear solution.
Formulation
Osteoprotegerin protein contains PBS pH-7.4 and 10% glycerol.
Stability
Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. Please avoid freeze thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED50 range ≤ 8 ng/ml and is measured by its ability to inhibit cytotoxicity using Jurkat human acute T cell leukemia cells in the presence of 2ng/ml of human TRAIL (CAT# cyt-1014).
