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.

Although several AGE structures have been reported, it was demonstrated that Nepsilon-(carboxymethyl) lysine (CML) and Nepsilon-(carboxyethyl) lysine (CEL) are the major antigenic AGE structures. Next to glucose, reactive di-carbonyl compounds such as methylglyoxal are major precursors in the formation of cellular and extracellular AGEs. Methylglyoxal reacts with lysine residues to form CEL. CEL concentration is increased in patients who have diabetes with complications.

Product Notes

The CEL-BSA Control (Catalog #AAA168667) is a Native Protein and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "CEL-BSA Control, Native Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.
