Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of RAGE in human serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: The advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) receptor encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface receptors. It is a multiligand receptor, and besides AGE, interacts with other molecules implicated in homeostasis, development, and inflammation, and certain diseases, such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, as well as non-protein-coding variants, have been described for this gene (PMID:18089847). [provided by RefSeq, May 2011]
