Facts about Advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor.
Acts as a mediator of both acute and chronic vascular inflammation in conditions such as atherosclerosis and specifically as a complication of diabetes. AGE/RAGE signaling plays an important role in regulating the production/expression of TNF- alpha, oxidative stress, and endothelial dysfunction in type 2 diabetes.
