Definition: A tumor necrosis factor receptor family member that is specific for RANK LIGAND and plays a role in bone homeostasis by regulating osteoclastogenesis. It is also expressed on DENDRITIC CELLS where it plays a role in regulating dendritic cell survival. Signaling by the activated receptor occurs through its association with TNF RECEPTOR-ASSOCIATED FACTORS.
Other names Receptor Activator, NF-KappaB; Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappaB; Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kappa B; Receptor Activator of NF kappaB; TRANCE R; Receptor Activator of NF kappa B; NF KappaB Receptor Activator; NF Kappa B Receptor Activator; Activator, NF-KappaB Receptor; TRANCE-R; TRANCE Receptor; TNFRSF11A Protein; Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor-kappaB; Receptor Activator of NF-kappaB; Receptor Activator of NF-kappa B; RANK Protein; NF-KappaB Receptor Activator; Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor Superfamily, Member; Receptors, Tumor Necrosis Factor, Member 11a; NF-Kappa B Receptor Activator
