TNFRSF11B, OPG, OCIF, Osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor, Osteoprotegerin, TR1, MGC29565.
Osteoprotegerin acts as decoy receptor for rankl and thereby neutralizes its function in osteoclastogenesis. OPG inhibits the activation of osteoclasts and promotes osteoclast apoptosis in vitro. Bone homeostasis seems to depend on the local rankl/opg ratio. Osteoprotegerin may also play a role in preventing arterial calcification. May act as decoy receptor for trail and protect against apoptosis. Trail binding blocks the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.
OPG Human Recombinant is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 393 amino acids (22-401a.a) and having a molecular mass of 45.0kDa (calculated). OPG is fused to a 13 a.a FLAG- tag at N-terminal.
Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder.
OPG filtered (0.4 µm) and lyophilized from 0.5mg/ml solution in PBS, pH7.5 and 5% (w/v) Trehalose.
It is recommended to add deionized water to prepare a working stock solution of approximately 0.5mg/ml and let the lyophilized pellet dissolve completely.
Store lyophilized protein at -20°C. Aliquot the product after reconstitution to avoid repeated freezing/thawing cycles. Reconstituted protein can be stored at 4°C for a limited period of time; it does not show any change after two weeks at 4°C.
Greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE.
