anti-Any Mouse Anti-Methylglyoxal Monoclonal Antibody
Mouse Anti-Methylglyoxal Monoclonal Antibody
Immunohistochemistry (1:20 to 1:60)
The non-enzymatic reaction of reducing carbohydrates with lysine side chains and N-terminal amino groups of macromolecules (proteins, phospholipids and nucleic acids) is called the Maillard reaction or glycation. The products of this process, termed advanced glycation end products (AGEs), adversely affect the functional properties of proteins, lipids and DNA. Tissue levels of AGE increase with age and the formation of AGEs is predominantly endogenous, though these products can also be derived from exogenous sources such as food and tobacco smoke. AGE modification of proteins can contribute to the pathophysiology of aging and long-term complications of diabetes, atherosclerosis and renal failure. AGEs also interact with a variety of cell-surface AGE-binding receptors (RAGE), leading either to their endocytosis and degradation or to cellular activation and pro-oxidant or pro-inflammatory events.
Several AGE structures have been reported, such as Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML), Nepsilon-(carboxyethyl) lysine (CEL), pentosidine, and Methylglyoxal (MG) derivatives. MG is formed through non-oxidative mechanisms from triose phosphates during anaerobic glycolysis and it can modify amino acids, nucleic acids, and proteins. MG reacts with arginine, lysine and cysteine residues of proteins to form AGEs. MG is involved in various pathological processes. For example, MG derivatives are found elevated in diabetes.
