'''Denosumab''' (formerly known as '''AMG 162''') is a [[human]] [[monoclonal antibody]] which is used to treat [[osteoporosis]].
Denosumab is designed to target RANK Ligand, a protein that acts as the primary signal to promote bone removal. In many bone loss conditions, RANK Ligand overwhelms the body's natural defense against bone destruction.
