Introduction
sRANK Receptor is a part of of the TNF superfamily of ligands and receptors which participates in the regulation of specific immunity and bone turnover. sRANK Receptor was originally acknowledged as a dendritic-cell-membrane protein, which by interacting with RANKL augments the capacity of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T cell proliferation and to endorse the survival of RANK and T cells. The full length human RANK cDNA encodes a type I transmembrane protein of 616 amino acids with a predicted 183 amino acid extracellular domain and a 383 amino acid cytoplasmic domain. sRANK Receptor is also expressed in a various tissues including skeletal muscle, thymus, liver, colon, small intestine and adrenal gland.
Physical Appearance
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
Formulation
Lyophilized from a 0.2 µm filtered concentrated solution in 20mM Tris-HCl, pH 8.0 and 150mM NaCl.
Stability
Lyophilized RANK although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution sRANK Receptor should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles.
Purity
Greater than 98.0% as determined by: (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.
Biological Activity
The ED 50 as determined by its ability to inhibit sRANK Ligand induced nuclear factor kappa B (NFkappaB) in RAW 264.7 cells is less than 50 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 2.0 × 10 4 IU/mg in the presence of 15 ng/ml of recombinant sRANK Ligand.

Solubility
It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized RANK in sterile 18M-cm H 2 O not less than 100µg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
