AGER Antibody

AGER mediates interactions of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE) . These are nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins which accumulate in vascular tissue in aging and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. It is receptor for amyloid beta peptide.This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules. It 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. The gene lies within the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class III region on chromosome 6. Alternative splicing results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms.This gene encodes a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store AGER antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

AGER antibody can be used for detection of AGER by ELISA at 1:62500. AGER antibody can be used for detection of AGER by western blot at 1.0 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
