These AGEs are known to accumulate in various tissues over time, contributing to the development of complications like diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy, and neuropathy. AGER acts as a receptor for these AGEs, signaling pathways that lead to inflammation, oxidative stress, and tissue damage. Understanding the role of AGER in diabetes-related complications has significant implications for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. By targeting AGER and its downstream signaling pathways, researchers hope to mitigate the harmful effects of AGE accumulation in diabetic patients. In fact, recent studies have shown that blocking AGER with specific inhibitors can reduce inflammation and oxidative stress in diabetic animal models, offering promise for future treatments. In addition to its role in diabetes, AGER has also been implicated in other age-related diseases, such as Alzheimer's and cardiovascular disease. By studying the mechanisms by which AGER mediates these diseases, researchers can gain valuable insights into the underlying pathophysiology and identify new targets for intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eComparative expression profiling across cell types, tissues, or perturbations (e.g., drug treatment, genetic editing, or differentiation).\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSubcellular localization and trafficking studies, including co-localization with pathway markers in microscopy-based assays.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntegration of protein-level measurements with transcriptomics or proteomics to relate abundance to regulation and phenotype.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWestern blotting: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eImmunohistochemistry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFlow cytometry: researchers commonly compare relative signal levels across conditions and use appropriate negative\/positive controls for interpretation.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eInterpretation should account for antibody-dependent factors such as epitope accessibility, isoforms, and sample preparation differences across workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIsoforms and PTMs:\u003c\/strong\u003e many targets have multiple isoforms and post-translational modifications that can shift apparent signal or localization; interpret bands\/signals accordingly.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEpitope context:\u003c\/strong\u003e binding can depend on protein conformation and sample processing; region information in the title\/immunogen can help anticipate what may be detected.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies differences:\u003c\/strong\u003e predicted or validated reactivity may vary by ortholog sequence and sample context; confirm in your model system.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eControl concepts:\u003c\/strong\u003e include negative controls (no-primary\/isotype), and where possible genetic controls (KO\/KD) or independent antibodies to strengthen conclusions.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003c!-- Sources (internal): - UniProtKB entry Q15109 — UniProt — https:\/\/www.uniprot.org\/uniprotkb\/Q15109 - Gene search: RAGE — NCBI Gene — https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/gene\/?term=RAGE - Ensembl search: RAGE — Ensembl — https:\/\/www.ensembl.org\/Multi\/Search\/Results?q=RAGE - PubMed search: RAGE antibody — PubMed — https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/?term=RAGE+antibody - Reactome search: RAGE — Reactome — https:\/\/reactome.org\/content\/query?q=RAGE --\u003e","brand":"NSJ Bioreagents","offers":[{"title":"In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide \/ 0.08 ml","offer_id":53046410674541,"sku":"F55116-0.08ML","price":205.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"In 1X PBS, pH 7.4, with 0.09% sodium azide \/ 0.4 ml","offer_id":53046472081773,"sku":"F55116-0.4ML","price":439.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7424\/7277\/files\/get_image_1ba9f982-8a22-4d54-aa70-e4be240a3708.jpg?v=1772000497","url":"https:\/\/www.ebiohippo.com\/products\/ager-antibody-rage-bha17128179","provider":"BioHippo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
