Receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), also known as advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor (AGER) is encoded by the gene mapped to human chromosome 6p21. The encoded protein is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 362-380 from rat RAGE. This sequence is 100% conserved in mouse and 70% conserved in human.
Application
Anti-RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycation Endproducts) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in western blot and flow cytometry.[1]
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below. Western Blotting (1 paper)
Biochem/physiol Actions
The soluble form of receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has a function in the Wnt pathway. RAGE has a role in the development of inflammatory and cellular damage, as well as cellular toxicity. It has been associated with diabetic atherosclerosis. AGER/RAGE also modulates cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis.{93
Physical form
Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 1.0 mg/mL bovine serum albumin and 0.05% sodium azide.
