Function
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. Acts as a mediator of both acute and chronic vascular
inflammation in conditions such as atherosclerosis and in particular as a complication of
diabetes. AGE/RAGE signaling plays an important role in regulating the production/expression
of TNF-alpha, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes. Interaction with
S100A12 on endothelium, mononuclear phagocytes, and lymphocytes triggers cellular
activation, with generation of key proinflammatory mediators. Interaction with S100B after
myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53
signaling (By similarity). Receptor for amyloid beta peptide. Contributes to the translocation of
amyloid-beta peptide (ABPP) across the cell membrane from the extracellular to the intracellular
space in cortical neurons. ABPP-initiated RAGE signaling, especially stimulation of p38
mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), has the capacity to drive a transport system
delivering ABPP as a complex with RAGE to the intraneuronal space.
Tissue specificity
Endothelial cells.

Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
Contains 1 Ig-like V-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain.

Additional bands at : 42 kDa. We are
unsure as to the identity of these extra bands.

This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bistris gel under the MOPS buffer system. The
gel was run at 200V for 50 minutes before
being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose
membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The
membrane was then blocked for an hour
using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before
being incubated with ab30381 overnight at
4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an
anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and
visualised using ECL development solution
ab133406.

stains processes of neurons in many brain
areas, the above image shows staining in
Caudate Putamen and Cortex. Please see

cells. The cells were 100% methanol fixed (5
min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10%
normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1%
PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells
and block non-specific protein-protein
interactions. The cells were then incubated
with the antibody ab30381 at 5µg/ml
overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody
