Receptor for Advanced Glycation End Products and Its Involvement in Inflammatory Diseases by Yaw Kuang Chuah, Rusliza Basir, Herni Talib, Tung Hing Tie, Norshariza Nordin

“…RAGE-ligands interaction induces a series of signal transduction cascades and lead to the activation of transcription factor NF-κB as well as increased expression of cytokines, chemokines, and adhesion molecules. These effects endow RAGE with the role in the signal transduction from pathogen substrates to cell activation during the onset and perpetuation of inflammation. …”
