PEP-194 is a 20 amino acid synthetic peptide. The sequence of this peptide is (amino to carboxy terminus): C (362) W R K R Q P R (R/L) E E R K A P E S Q E D (NH2) (380).
This peptide may be used for neutralization and control experiments with the polyclonal antibody that reacts with this product, catalog # PA1-075. Using a solution of peptide of equal volume and concentration to the corresponding antibody will yield a large molar excess of peptide (~70-fold) for competitive inhibition of antibody-protein binding reactions.
Reconstitute with 0.1 mL of distilled water.
The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End-products (RAGE) is a gene located on human chromosome 6p21.3, encoding a transmembrane receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. RAGE is expressed in various tissues, with significant levels in the lungs, and plays a crucial role in cellular signaling and inflammation. As a receptor, RAGE binds multiple ligands, including advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), amyloid-beta peptide, high mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), and S100/calgranulin proteins, facilitating diverse pathological processes like inflammation, cancer progression, and neurodegeneration. The interaction between RAGE and its ligands triggers intracellular signaling pathways such as NF-kB activation, leading to inflammatory responses and oxidative stress. In the context of chronic diseases like diabetes, Alzheimer's, and cardiovascular diseases, RAGE is a critical mediator, linking metabolic disturbance to cellular dysfunction. Therapeutic targeting of RAGE signaling is under investigation, aiming to mitigate its contribution to inflammatory and degenerative diseases.
