Based on 1 publication(s) in Google Scholar

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a TNF receptor superfamily, is expressed in many tissues including heart, kidney, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Osteoprotegerin has osteoprotective effect and is critical in bone remodeling. Osteoprotegerin can bind to RANKL and inhibit the binding between TNFSF11 and RANKL, thereby neutralizing the RANKL function in osteoclastogenesis. OPG is also involved in multiple biological processes of cancers. TNFRSF11B/OPG Protein, Human (CHO, Fc) is a recombinant human TNFRSF11B/OPG (E22-L201) with C-terminal hFc tag, which is produced in CHO cell.

Description

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a TNF receptor superfamily, is expressed in many tissues including heart, kidney, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Osteoprotegerin has osteoprotective effect and is critical in bone remodeling. Osteoprotegerin can bind to RANKL and inhibit the binding between TNFSF11 and RANKL, thereby neutralizing the RANKL function in osteoclastogenesis[1]. OPG is also involved in multiple biological processes of cancers. TNFRSF11B/OPG Protein, Human (CHO, Fc) is a recombinant human TNFRSF11B/OPG (E22-L201) with C-terminal hFc tag, which is produced in CHO cell[1][2].

Background

Osteoprotegerin (OPG), a glycoprotein, belongs to TNF receptor superfamily. OPG is expressed in many tissues besides osteoblasts, including heart, kidney, liver, spleen, and bone marrow. Human osteoprotegerin shares <85% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat. Mouse OX40 shares 94.5% aa sequence identity with rat[1].
Osteoprotegerin can bind to RANKL and inhibit the binding between TNFSF11 and RANKL, thereby neutralizing the RANKL function in osteoclastogenesis. Osteoprotegerin also protects large blood vessels from medial calcification. Increased osteoprotegerin levels have been consistently associated with the incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease[1][3]. Osteoprotegerin is also involved in multiple processes of cancers, such as tumor survival, epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT), neo-angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis[2].
Osteoprotegerin plays a critical role in bone remodeling, and has osteoprotective effect[1].

In Vitro

RANKL (human, 0-100 pg/mL, 36 h) promotes the proliferation of VSMC[5].

In Vivo

Osteoprotegerin (human, 5 mg/kg, i.v.) shows antiresorptive effects in rats[4].

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
