Description
Description: sRAGE Human Recombinant produced in E Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain containing 134 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 15kDa. The Human sRAGE is fused to His tag at N-Terminus.The Human sRAGE is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introduction: sRAGE is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules. sRAGE is a receptor for various molecules, including the amyloidogenic form of serum amyloid A, amyloid-beta protein, members of the S100/calgranulin superfamily and advanced glycation end products. sRAGE lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. sRAGE mediates interactions of nonenzymatic glycosylated proteins which accumulate in vascular tissue during aging & at an increasing rate in diabetes. sRAGE is a receptor for amyloid beta peptide
