Mouse monoclonal [E01-10F11] antibody to Osteoprotegerin.
Specificità
This antibody recognises osteoprotegerin (OPG), a cytokine receptor and member of the tumour necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily. The role of OPG involves it acting as a decoy receptor for the ligand of CD254 and thereby preventing its function in osteoclastogenesis. In addition to this it may act as a decoy receptor for TNF related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL) (Emery et al. 1998 and Schoppet et al. 2002). The combination of these two roles allows OPG to inhibit NFkB’s regulatory effects on inflammation, skeletal, and vascular systems.OPG is highly expressed in a wide range of tissues, including adult heart, lung, liver, prostate, ovary and bone marrow. More recently a role for OPG in cardiovascular disease has emerged and it is now clinically relevant biomarker of vascular health (Bierre, 2013).
