Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE)

Target
RAGE
Molecular classification
Receptor, Pattern Recognition Receptor (PRR), Immunoglobulin superfamily
01

Overview

The Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products (RAGE) is a cell surface receptor belonging to the immunoglobulin superfamily. It acts as a pattern recognition receptor (PRR), capable of binding a wide variety of ligands, including advanced glycation end products (AGEs), amyloid-β peptides, S100/calgranulins, high-mobility group box 1 protein (HMGB1), and other damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs). Its sustained expression perpetuates inflammatory responses and oxidative stress, contributing to various chronic inflammatory and metabolic diseases.
