Gene: Tnfsf11
Official Full Name: tumor necrosis factor (ligand) superfamily, member 11provided by MGI
Gene Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and tumor necrosis factor receptor superfamily binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular signaling cassette; positive regulation of secretion by cell; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; mammary gland development; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in bone; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; incisor; and rib. Used to study autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 2 and osteoporosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive osteopetrosis 2 and osteoporosis. Orthologous to human TNFSF11 (TNF superfamily member 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Tnfsf11 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized research tools created to study the biological functions and mechanisms of the Tnfsf11 gene, which encodes RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor Kappa-Β Ligand). These knockout cell lines have been developed through precise gene editing techniques, such as CRISPR-Cas9, leading to the complete elimination of Tnfsf11 expression. This absence provides a unique platform for investigating the role of RANKL in various physiological and pathological processes, including bone metabolism, immune response, and cancer progression.
The primary function of these knockout cell lines is to facilitate a clearer understanding of the RANK-RANKL signaling pathway. By employing these cells, researchers can explore alterations in cell signaling, proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis that occur due to the loss of RANKL. This functionality is crucial as RANKL is known to influence osteoclastogenesis and immune regulation, making it a pivotal target for therapeutic intervention in diseases such as osteoporosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and certain cancers.
The scientific importance of Tnfsf11 Gene Knockout Cell Lines extends to both basic and applied research. In academic and clinical laboratories, they serve as a model for drug development and therapeutic strategies targeting the RANK-RANKL axis. Furthermore, these cell lines allow researchers to assess the molecular mechanisms underlying RANKL-related disorders, thus advancing translational research efforts.
Compared to conventional models, such as wild-type cell lines or animal models, Tnfsf11 knockout cell lines provide higher specificity and reproducibility in studies. Their use minimizes variability and enhances the accuracy of research findings. Additionally, these cell lines are ready-to-use or can be further engineered for customized experiments, coupling convenience with high efficacy.
Given the increasing relevance of RANKL in various health conditions, Tnfsf11 Gene Knockout Cell Lines represent an invaluable asset for researchers and clinicians aiming to innovate and improve treatment modalities. Their targeted design allows for nuanced investigations that may lead to groundbreaking discoveries in immunology and orthopedics.
