Identification of RANKL/ODF (receptor activator of NF-kappaB ligand/osteoclast differentiation factor), RANK(receptor activator of NF-kappaB) and OPG/OCIF(osteoprotegerin/ osteoclastogenesis inhibitory factor) revealed the mechanisms regulating osteoclast differentiation and function. RANKL-RANK signaling is essential for the physiological osteoclast development and plays a major role in the pathological bone destruction. OPG and anti-RANKL antibody act as a specific inhibitor of RANKL and are useful and applicable to osteoporosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
