Osteoprotegerin
Osteoprotegerin (OPG) belongs to the tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) superfamily. Osteoprotegerin blocks the RANKL-RANK interaction as well as the binding of TRAIL to its receptor. Osteoprotegerin activates NF-κB to induce the expression of ICAM-1, VCAM-1 and E-selectin, and activates the phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Osteoprotegerin regulates osteoclast activity, inhibits osteoclast maturation and formation, bone lysis and bone resorption, and increases bone mass. Osteoprotegerin regulates vascular endothelial cell function. Osteoprotegerin can be used in the research of cardio-cerebrovascular and bone-related diseases.

Biological Activity
제품 설명
In Vitro
Osteoprotegerin dose-dependently upregulates the expression of AT1 receptors in human vascular smooth muscle cells and cells derived from atherosclerotic plaques, and directly activates the phosphorylation of ERK1/2 in vitro[1].
Osteoprotegerin inhibits RANKL-induced matrix metalloproteinase activity in human vascular smooth muscle cells *in vitro* by sequestering RANKL and preventing its binding to RANK[1].
