Description

The R12-31 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse RANK (Receptor activator of NF-κB), a recently cloned member of the TNFR superfamily with no significant homology to other members of this family. RANK ligand (RANKL/TRANCE/ OPGL) binds to RANK on dendritic cells, upregulates the expression of anti-apoptotic protein BcL-X_L suggesting a role in dendritic cell survival. The cytoplasmic domain of RANK interacts with TRAF2, TRAF5 and TRAF6. Overexpression of RANK activates NF-κB and c-Jun-terminal kinase (JNK) pathways. Recent studies have shown that RANK interaction with TRAF6 activates NF-κB, whereas JNK activation is mediated through binding of RANK to TRAF2.

Applications Reported

For research use only, not for diagnostic or therapeutic use. The R12-31 antibody has been reported for use in flow cytometric analysis.

Applications Tested

This R12-31 antibody has been tested by flow cytometric analysis of mouse RANK-transfected cells. This can be used at less than or equal to 1.0 μg per million cells in a 100 μl total staining volume. It is recommended that the antibody be carefully titrated for optimal performance in the assay of interest.
