The balance between receptor activator of nuclear factor _KB-ligand (RANKL)and osteoprotegerin (OPG)determine overall osteoclast formation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance between RANKL and OPG is crucial in regulating osteoclast formation. RANKL promotes the differentiation of osteoclasts while OPG acts as a decoy receptor and inhibits its binding to RANKL, therefore preventing osteoclast formation. The ratio of RANKL to OPG determines the overall osteoclast formation, making statement A true.
