RANKL antibody, clone IK22/5, recognizes receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL), also known as CD254, TNF-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 (TNFSF11), osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL), and osteoclast differentiation factor (ODF). RANKL is a type II transmembrane protein belonging to the TNF cytokine superfamily and binds to the signaling receptor, RANK, or decoy receptor, osteoprotegerin (OPG). RANKL is expressed on osteoclasts and is essential for osteoclast differentiation, activation, and survival1. RANKL is also expressed on activated T cells and regulates T cell-dendritic cell (DC) interactions, enhancing DC activation and survival2-3. In addition, RANKL is crucial for lymph node, bone marrow, and thymus development4. Treatment with denosumab, an antibody directed against RANKL, is approved for the treatment of patients at high risk for bone fractures, including osteoporosis, and has shown anti-tumor effects5.
