Application: Optimal antibody pair and antigen standard for assaying human Mouse OPG/Osteoprotegerin/TNFRSF11B. Can be multiplexed with other analytes in Mouse Group 4. To be used in conjunction with the AimPlex Mouse/Rat Basic Kit (PN: P200201) and a diluent kit. Refer to the AimPlex Multiplex Immunoassay User Manual and kit inserts for the assay procedure.
Storage: 2-8 C in the dark
Important: Sodium azide forms explosive compounds with heavy metals. These products contain <0.05% (w/w) azide which with repeated contact with lead and copper commonly found in plumbing drains may result in the buildup of shock sensitive compounds. Dispose in accordance with regulations from your institute.

Description:
Osteoprotegerin (OPG), also known as osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor (OCIF), or tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily member 11B (TNFRSF11B), is a cytokine receptor, and a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptor superfamily. Osteoprotegerin is a decoy receptor for the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL). OPG can reduce the production of osteoclasts by inhibiting the differentiation of osteoclast precursors. Elevated OPG levels has been reported in heart diseases in placebo effect serum responses in IBS patients and in severe mental disorders. Mutations in TNFRSF11B are associated with osteoarthritis. It has been found that osteoprotegerin is expressed on mesenchymal stem cells, which mediates their suppressive effect on osteoclastogenesis. It has been hypothesized that osteoprotegerin may be a link between bone and cardiovascular disease. It has been particularly related to the increase in cardiovascular risk in patients suffering from diabetes. Diseases associated with OPG/TNFRSF11B include Paget disease, juvenile and bone cancer.
