This recombinant protein control fragment may be used for blocking experiments. In IHC/ICC and WB experiments, we recommend a 100x molar excess of the protein fragment control based on the concentration and the molecular weight. Pre-incubate the antibody-protein control fragment mixture for 30 min at room temperature.
The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) is a gene located on human chromosome 6p21.3, encoding a transmembrane receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. RAGE is expressed in various tissues, with significant levels in the lungs, and plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and inflammation. As a receptor, RAGE binds multiple ligands, including advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), amyloid-ß peptide, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and S100/calgranulin proteins, facilitating diverse pathological processes like inflammation, cancer progression, and neurodegeneration. The interaction between RAGE and its ligands triggers intracellular signaling pathways such as NF-?B activation, leading to inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. In the context of chronic diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cardiovascular diseases, RAGE is a critical mediator, linking metabolic disturbance to cellular dysfunction. Therapeutic targeting of RAGE signaling is under investigation, aiming to mitigate its contribution to inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
