Product details
Porcine Osteoprotegerin ELISA Kit (OPG) (ab273217) is an in-vitro enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for the quantitative measurement of porcine Osteoprotegerin in serum, plasma and cell culture supernatants.
This assay employs an antibody specific for porcine Osteoprotegerin coated on a 96-well plate. Standards and samples are pipetted into the wells and Osteoprotegerin present in a sample is bound to the wells by the immobilized antibody. The wells are washed, and biotinylated anti-porcine Osteoprotegerin antibody is added. After washing away unbound biotinylated antibody, HRP-conjugated streptavidin is pipetted to the wells. The wells are again washed, a TMB substrate solution is added to the wells and color develops in proportion to the amount of Osteoprotegerin bound. The Stop Solution changes the color from blue to yellow, and the intensity of the color is measured at 450 nm.

Biological function summary
OPG inhibits the differentiation and activation of osteoclasts by binding to RANKL preventing its interaction with the receptor RANK on the surface of osteoclast progenitor cells. As part of a non-classical signaling pathway OPG plays a significant role in the regulation of bone remodeling and maintenance by controlling bone resorption. This activity preserves bone density and structure by limiting excessive osteoclastic activity.
Pathways
OPG operates within the RANK/RANKL/OPG signaling axis which is important for bone metabolism. It counteracts the bone-resorption pathway driven by the RANKL-RANK interaction inhibiting osteoclastogenesis. This axis involves interactions with other proteins such as RANK RANKL and TRAIL where TRAIL’s involvement hints towards a broader immune regulation role for OPG.
