Abstract
Osteoprotegerin, RANK (Receptor Activator of Nuclear factor kappa B) and RANKL (Receptor Activator of Nuclear faktor kappa B ligand) became the aim of intensive research. RANK is considered as a hematopoietic surface receptor controlling osteoclastogenesis and calcium metabolism. RANKL may promote osteoresorption by induction of cathepsin K gene expression. The present paper summarizes the most significant data in osteoprotegerin, RANK and RANKL problems obtained.Entities:
