products description : 
OPG ligand (OPGL,) a type II membrane protein, binds to a unique hematopoietic progenitor cell that is committed to the osteoclast lineage and stimulates the rapid induction of genes involved in osteoclast development. OPGL is expressed in the primitive mesenchymal cells, in hypertrophying chondrocytes and in areas undergoing primary ossification and modeling. This gene was independently isolated and called RANKL (receptor activator of NF-Kappa B ligand).

ncbi summary : 
This gene encodes 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. The deficient mice exhibited defects in early differentiation of T and B lymphocytes, and failed to form lobulo-alveolar mammary structures during pregnancy. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
