doi: 10.14348/molcells.2022.0058

Figure Lengend Snippet: Upon activation of RANK by RANKL, TRAF6 is recruited and activated. Downstream of TRAF6, PARK2 may interact with NEMO and enhance its linear ubiquitination, resulting in the activation of the IKK complex. The activated IKK complex facilitates proteasomal degradation of IκB and triggers p65 translocation to the nucleus, leading to gene transcription of osteoclast marker genes like ACP5, MMP9, and Ctsk.
