Mouse Osteoclast Differentiation Factor Receptor (RANK) ELISA Kit

This Mouse Osteoclast Differentiation Factor Receptor (RANK) ELISA Kit from Innovative Research is intended for quantitative detection of mouse RANK in cell culture supernates and serum. Strip well format. Reagents for up to 96 tests.

This mouse RANK ELISA Kit was based on standard sandwich enzyme-linked immune-sorbent assay technology. A monoclonal antibody from rat specific for RANK has been precoated onto 96-well plates. Standards(NSO, Q30-P213) and test samples are added to the wells, a biotinylated detection polyclonal antibody from goat specific for RANK is added subsequently and then followed by washing with PBS or TBS buffer. Avidin-Biotin-Peroxidase Complex was added and unbound conjugates were washed away with PBS or TBS buffer. HRP substrate TMB was used to visualize HRP enzymatic reaction. TMB was catalyzed by HRP to produce a blue color product that changed into yellow after adding acidic stop solution. The density of yellow is proportional to the mouse RANK amount of sample captured in plate.

Additional Information: The capture antibody is a monoclonal antibody from rat, the detection antibody is a biotinylated polyclonal antibody from goat. Expression system for standard: Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa B(RANK), also known as TRANCE Receptor, is a type I membrane protein that is expressed on the surface of osteoclasts and is involved in their activation upon ligand binding. RANK is a recently described TNF receptor family member, and its ligand, RANKL, promote survival of dendritic cells and differentiation of osteoclasts. RANK contains 383 amino acids in its intracellular domain(residues 234-616), which contain three putative TRAF-binding domains(termed I, II, and III). RANK interacts with various TRAFs through distinct motifs and activates NF-kappaB via a novel TRAF6 interaction motif, which then activates NIK, thus leading to NF-kappaB activation, whereas RANK most likely activates JNK through a TRAF2-interacting region in RANK.; Immunogen sequence: 420
