Disabling of Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-κB (RANK) Receptor Complex by Novel Osteoprotegerin-like Peptidomimetics Restores Bone Loss in Vivo
1 Feb 2004
Abstract excerpt
The tumor necrosis factor family ligand, tumor necrosis factor-related activation-induced cytokine (TRANCE), and its receptors, receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappaB (RANK) and osteoprotegerin (OPG), are known to be regulators of development and activation of osteoclasts in bone remodeling. Sustained osteoclast activation that occurs through TRANCE-RANK causes osteopenic disorders such as osteoporosis and...
