Protein Coding Gene : Ager advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor

Primary Identifier  MGI:893592 Organism  mouse, laboratory
Chromosome  17 NCBI Gene Number  11596
Mgi Type  protein coding gene
description  FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0)

Enables S100 protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to amyloid-beta; negative regulation of long-term synaptic potentiation; and positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including astrocyte development; induction of positive chemotaxis; and positive regulation of monocyte chemotactic protein-1 production. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including apical plasma membrane; basal plasma membrane; and fibrillar center. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autoimmune disease (multiple); cardiovascular system disease (multiple); cystic fibrosis; kidney failure (multiple); and lupus nephritis. Orthologous to human AGER (advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor).
PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show increased bone mass and strength, reduced osteoclast number, abnormal blood vessel healing, and altered development of nephropathy and pain perception in induced diabetes. Homozygotes for another null allele show restored diabetes-induced angiogenic responses. [provided by MGI curators]
