Background
TNFRSF11A (tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily, member 11A), also known as receptor activator of NF-κB (RANK), is highly expressed in bone and has an important role in osteoclast differentiation and activity. Tnfrsf11a deficiency in mice has also been associated with severe abnormalities in thymic epithelial cells and impaired negative selection, with severe autoimmune manifestations. Overexpression of RANK/TNFRSF11A in glioblastoma cell lines leads to a significant reduction in focus formation and elevated apoptotic activity.
