Gene: AGER

Alternate names for this Gene: RAGE|SCARJ1

Gene Summary: The advanced glycosylation end product (AGE) receptor encoded by this gene is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell surface receptors. It is a multiligand receptor, and besides AGE, interacts with other molecules implicated in homeostasis, development, and inflammation, and certain diseases, such as diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. Many alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms, as well as non-protein-coding variants, have been described for this gene (PMID:18089847).

Gene is located in Chromosome: 6

Location in Chromosome : 6p21.32

Description of this Gene: advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: RNF5

Alternate names for this Gene: RING5|RMA1

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene contains a RING finger, which is a motif known to be involved in protein-protein interactions. This protein is a membrane-bound ubiquitin ligase. It can regulate cell motility by targeting paxillin ubiquitination and altering the distribution and localization of paxillin in cytoplasm and cell focal adhesions.
