AGER Antibody / RAGE

• Description:

  AGER is a cell surface receptor that is specifically activated by AGEs, which are formed when sugars react non-enzymatically with proteins or lipids. 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.
