AGER,RAGE,Advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor,Receptor for advanced glycosylation end products
Cell localization:[Isoform 1]: Cell membrane, Single-pass type I membrane protein., [Isoform 2]: Secreted., [Isoform 10]: Cell membrane , Single-pass type I membrane protein ..The advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) receptor encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobµLin superfamily of cell surface receptors. It is a mµLtiligand receptor, and besides AGE, interacts with other molecµLes implicated in homeostasis, development, and inflammation, and certain diseases, such as diabetes and Alzheimers disease. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, as well as non-protein-coding variants, have been described for this gene (PMID:18089847). [provided by RefSeq, May 2011],
