Description

Description: Source : Hi-5. Recombinant Osteoprotegerin produced in baculovirus is a signle, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 398 amino acid residues (22-401 a.a.), having a calculated molecular mass of 45.6 kDa. The Osteoprotegerin is fused to 17 amino acid His tag at C-terminus amd purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. Osteoprotegerin acts as decoy receptor for rankl & thereby neutralizes its function in osteoclastogenesis. OPG inhibits the activation of osteoclasts & 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 & protect against apoptosis. Trail binding blocks the inhibition of osteoclastogenesis.
