Product overview
Recombinant Human TNFRSF11A/Rank Protein is expressed in HEK293 cells with an hFc (IgG1) tag at the C-terminus. It contains amino acid residues Ile30-Pro212 (UniProt accession: Q9Y6Q6-1).
Product Details
- Molecular Aliases
- ODFR; Receptor activator of NF-KB; NF-KB; NFKB; CD265; TNFRSF11A; Rank; FEO; LOH18CR1; OPTB7; OSTS; PDB2; TRANCER;
- Protein Length
- Ile30-Pro212
- Expression System
- HEK293
- Theoretical Molecular Weight
- The protein has a predicted MW of 46.85 kDa. Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 55-65 kDa based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.
- Purity
- > 95% as determined by Bis-Tris PAGE > 95% as determined by HPLC
- Endotoxin
- Less than 1 EU per μg by the LAL method.
- Buffer / Formulation
- Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.
- State
- Lyophilized
- Storage Conditions
- -20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt. -80°C for 3 months after reconstitution. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.
- Reconstitution Advice
- Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water. Please refer to the Certificate of Analysis for detailed instructions.

Background
TNFRSF11A, also known as receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), activates several signaling pathways, such as NF-κB, JNK, ERK, p38α, and Akt/PKB. RANK/TNFRSF11A is a novel and frequent target for de novo methylation in gliomas, which affects apoptotic activity and focus formation thereby contributing to the molecular pathogenesis of gliomas.
