Detects human TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In direct ELISAs and Western blots, 100% cross-reactivity with recombinant mouse (rm) TRANCE and approximately 25% cross-reactivity with recombinant human (rh) LIGHT is observed. No cross-reactivity with rh4-1BB Ligand, rhAPRIL, rhBAFF, rhEDA, rhEDA-A2, rhFas Ligand, rhGITR Ligand, rhOX40 LIgand, rhTNF-alpha, rhTRAIL, rhTWEAK, or rhVEGI is observed.

Scientific Data Images for Human/Mouse TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L Antibody

Detection of Human TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L by Western Blot.

Western blot shows lysates of human primary differentiated CD4⁺Th2 cells. PVDF Membrane was probed with 2 µg/mL of Human TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L Monoclonal Antibody (Catalog # MAB6263) followed by HRP-conjugated Anti-Mouse IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # HAF007). A specific band was detected for TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L at approximately 43 kDa (as indicated). This experiment was conducted under reducing conditions and using Immunoblot Buffer Group 1.

Background: TRANCE/TNFSF11/RANK L

TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE; also RANKL, OPGL, and ODF) is a 35 kDa (predicted) type II transmembrane glycoprotein and member of the TNF cytokine family. Human TRANCE is 317 amino acids (aa) in length and contains a 47 aa cytoplasmic region, a 21 aa transmembrane region, and a 249 extracellular domain (ECD), which contains two potential sites of N-linked glycosylation. Splicing variants produce three isoforms for human TRANCE. Isoform 1 is the standard form. In isoform 2, aa corresponding to 1-73 in isoform 1 are missing. In isoform 3, aa 1-47 are missing. Human TRANCE ECD is 83% identical to mouse TRANCE ECD. TRANCE is expressed highest in the peripheral lymph nodes and weaker in the spleen, peripheral blood leukocytes, bone marrow, heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, stomach, and thyroid. TRANCE plays a role in osteoclast differentiation and activation.
