Name :
Recombinant Human RAGE Protein (hFc Tag)
Biological Activity :
Background :
Receptor for Advanced Glycosylation End Products (RAGE, or AGER) is a member of the immunoglobulin super-family transmembrane proteins, as a signal transduction receptor which binds advanced glycation endproducts, certain members of the S100/calgranulin family of proteins, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), advanced oxidation protein products, and amyloid (beta-sheet fibrils). Initial studies investigating the role of RAGE in renal dysfunction focused on diabetes, neurodegenerative disorders, and inflammatory responses. However, RAGE also has roles in the pathogenesis of renal disorders that are not associated with diabetes, such as obesity-related glomerulopathy, doxorubicin-induced nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, lupus nephritis, renal amyloidosis, and ischemic renal injuries. RAGE represents an important factor in innate immunity against pathogens, but it also interacts with endogenous ligands, resulting in chronic inflammation. RAGE signaling has been implicated in multiple human illnesses, including atherosclerosis, arthritis, Alzheimer’s disease, atherosclerosis and aging associated diseases.
Biological Activity :
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized human S100A12 at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind recombinant human AGER with a linear range of 0.032-20 μg/ml.
Expression Host :
Human

Synonyms :
advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor
Amino Acid Sequence :
Molecular Weight :
The recombinant human AGER/Fc chimera is a disulfide-linked homodimeric protein. The reduced monomer consists of 562 amino acids and predictes a molecular mass of 61.1 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rhAGER/Fc monomer is approximately 80-90 kDa due to glycosylation.
Purity :
> 70 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
State of Matter :
Product Concentration :
Storage and Stability :
Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20℃ to -80℃. Store it under sterile conditions at -20℃ to -80℃. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
Endotoxin Level :
< 1.0 EU per μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method
Protein Construction :
A DNA sequence encoding the human AGER isoform 1 (NP_001127.1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Ala 344) was fused with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
Buffer Solution :
Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4.Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % – 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet.
Shipping :
In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature.Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise.
Redissolution :
A hardcopy of datasheet with reconstitution instructions is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.
