Receptor Activator Of Nuclear Factor Kappa B Ligand (RANkL)
[Edit]CD254; TNFSF11; ODF; OPGL; TRANCE; HRANKL2; SOdf; Tumor Necrosis Factor(ligand)superfamily Member 11; TNF-related activation-induced cytokine
RANKL a member of the tumor necrosis factor (TNF) cytokine family which is a ligand for osteoprotegerin and functions as a key factor for osteoclast differentiation and activation. This protein was shown to be a dentritic cell survival factor and is involved in the regulation of T cell-dependent immune response. T cell activation was reported to induce expression of this gene and lead to an increase of osteoclastogenesis and bone loss. This protein was shown to activate antiapoptotic kinase AKT/PKB through a signaling complex involving SRC kinase and tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor (TRAF) 6, which indicated this protein may have a role in the regulation of cell apoptosis. Targeted disruption of the related gene in mice led to severe osteopetrosis and a lack of osteoclasts.
