The IK22/5 monoclonal antibody reacts with mouse RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand) also known as CD254 and TRANCE (TNF-related activation-induced cytokine). RANKL is a 35 kDa type II membrane protein that belongs to the TNF superfamily. RANKL is expressed on activated T lymphocytes in the lung, thymus, and lymph nodes and on osteoclasts. RANKL has been implicated in the regulation of T cell and dendritic cell interactions as well as osteoclast differentiation. Additionally, RANKL was found to be critical for osteoclast differentiation.
