General description
RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycosylation End Products) is a 35 kDa cell surface receptor that binds molecules modified by advanced glycation end products (AGEs), an irreversible non-enzymatic reaction occuring from the interaction of proteins and lipids with glucose. The increased expression of RAGE is associated with many disorders, such as diabetic vasculopathy, neuropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy, Alzheimer’s disease and immune/inflammatory reactions of the vessel walls. AGE/RAGE accumulates at sites of vascular disease in diabetes, but blockade of RAGE suppresses development of atherosclerosis and vascular disorders. RAGE binds to amyloid beta, which is overproduced in neurons and vessels in Alzheimer′s disease, and this interaction results in oxidative stress leading to neuronal degeneration.
Specificity
RAGE (Receptor for Advanced Glycosylated End Products). The antibody recognizes both natural and recombinant RAGE.
Immunogen
Recombinant truncated extracellular part of RAGE produced in E. coli.
