Facts about Tumor necrosis factor ligand superfamily member 11.
Cytokine that binds to TNFRSF11B/OPG and to TNFRSF11A/RANK.
Osteoclast differentiation and activation element.Augments the capacity of dendritic cells to stimulate naive T-cell proliferation. May be an important regulator of interactions between T-cells and dendritic cells and might play a role in the regulation of this T-cell-dependent immune response.
