Description
Accession
Q9ESE2
Source
Optimized DNA sequence encoding Rat RANKL mature chain was expressed in ECOLI. Recombinant Rat Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11 encodes amino acid residues 1-318.
Molecular weight
Recombinant RANKL migrates as an approximately 19 kDa protein under reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
Purity
>95%, as determined by SDS-PAGE and HPLC
Biological Activity
Determined by its ability to induce NF-κB in RAW264.7 cells in the absence of any cross-linking. The expected ED50 for this effect is 10.0-25.0 ng/ml.
Endotoxin
Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method. Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/µg(1EU/µg).
Presentation
RANKL was Lyophilized from PBS, pH 7.2.

Reconstitution
A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
Storage
The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20° C. Upon reconstitution, this product can be stored in working aliquots at 2° - 8° C for one month, or at -20° C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
