OxiSelect N-epsilon-(Carboxymethyl) Lysine (CML) Immunoblot Kit

Advanced glycation end products (AGE) are formed during the Maillard reaction where reducing carbohydrates react with lysine side chains and N-terminal amino groups of various macromolecules, particularly proteins. The advanced glycation end products can adversely affect the fuction of these macromolecules. One of the most prevalent AGE products, N-epsilon-(Carboxymethyl) Lysine, has been implicated in oxidative stress and vascular damage. The OxiSelect N-epsilon-(Carboxymethyl) Lysine Immunoblot kit specifically detects CML formation in protein samples.
