Species TM AA Chromosomal Location Gene Symbol Gene Name Reference
Human 1 404 6p21.32 AGER advanced glycosylation end-product specific receptor 9
Mouse 1 402 17 B1 Ager advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor
Rat 1 402 20p12 Ager advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor
Gene and Protein Information Comments
The human mRNA undergoes extensive alternative splicing, generating many protein isoforms. We include the predominant isoform in the table above. Some isoforms lack the membrane spanning region and are known as soluble RAGE (sRAGE) and may act as decoy receptors for RAGE ligands. The mouse gene similarly produces several reported isoforms.

Immunopharmacology Comments
RAGE is a single chain, membrane bound immunoglobulin type protein [9,11,19] which acts as a pattern recognition receptor for ligands containing a common glycation motif. In addition to advanced glycation endproducts, reported ligands include HMGB1 (amphoterin) [6], S100A7 (S100 calcium-binding protein A7 aka psoriasin) [8], S100B (S100 calcium-binding protein B) [14], amyloid β [5] and phosphatidylserine. RAGE has been linked to several chronic diseases, the pathogenesis of which are hypothesized to result from RAGE-induced activation of the NF-κB signalling pathway and subsequent modulation of pro-inflammatory genes [1]. RAGE modulation is an attractive mechanism being investigated by the pharmaceutical industry, for the development of novel therapies [2,4,13,17] for conditions including diabetes mellitus [3,16] and Alzheimer's disease (AD) [12,15,18].
