Self-Assembled RANK Induces Osteoclastogenesis Ligand-Independently
Abstract By immunoprecipitation assay, we showed that mouse RANK was self-assembled through its cytoplasmic domain located at position 534–539, whose domain was different form TRAF binding domains. Moreover, overexpression experiments showed that oligomeric RANK, which was self-associated, induced osteoclastogenesis ligand-independently.
