Biological Activity

Description

AGER Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is human recombinant AGER with a His tag at the C-terminus. AGER Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is expressed by mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Ala23-Ala344 is expressed.

Background

AGER (Advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor), a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface molecules, is a transmembrane signal transduction receptor with a number of ligands, including alarmins that can initiate and perpetuate immune responses. AGER naturally exists in two forms that are full-length membrane-bound and truncated (soluble). The human AGER is a highly polymorphic gene with more than 190 SNPs mapped to its locus on the 6p21.3 chromosome. AGER interacts with a broad spectrum of ligands and multiple signaling pathways, such as those activated by the high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1) protein (a non-canonical ligand of AGER). AGER serve as a mediator of both acute and chronic vascular inflammation in certain conditions such as atherosclerosis and in particular as a complication of diabetes[1][2].

Verified Bioactivity

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Recombinant Human AGER at 5 µg/mL (100 µL/well) can bind biotinylated advanced glycation endproducts of bovine serum albumin (AGE-BSA). The ED50 for this effect is 0.9828 μg/mL.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder.

Formulation

1.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
2.Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.0.
Please refer to the lot-specific COA for specific buffer information.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.

Shipping

Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
