Active Recombinant Rat Advanced Glycosylation End Product-Specific Receptor, Fc-tagged

• Cat.No.: Ager-540R
• Product Overview: Recombinant Rat Agerprotein was expressed in Murine myeloma cell line with the Fc part of RatRAGE Gln24-Ala342 (N-terminus) and Human IgG1 Pro100-Lys330 (C-terminus).

Specification

• Cat. No.: Ager-540R
• Description: Advancedglycation endproducts (AGEs) are adducts formed by the nonenzymatic glycationof macromolecules. Ager formation is acceleratedin oxidative and hyperglycemic conditions, diabetes, renal failure,atherosclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, arthritis, and in normal aging. Receptorfor advanced glycation endproducts (Ager) isa 35 kDa type I transmembrane protein belonging the immunoglobulinsuperfamily. Besides AGEs, Ager bindsβamyloid peptide, S100/calgranulin family proteins, HMGB1/amphoterin, andleukocyte integrins. Mature rat Agerconsists of a 319 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with one Iglike V-typedomain and two Ig-like Ctype domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 40aa cytoplasmic domain.
