Mediates interactions of advanced glycosylation end products (AGE). These are nonenzymatically glycosylated proteins which accumulate in vascular tissue in aging and at an accelerated rate in diabetes. Acts as a mediator of both acute and chronic vascular inflammation in conditions such as atherosclerosis and in particular 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. Interaction with S100A12 on endothelium, mononuclear phagocytes, and lymphocytes triggers cellular activation, with generation of key proinflammatory mediators. Interaction with S100B after myocardial infarction may play a role in myocyte apoptosis by activating ERK1/2 and p53/TP53 signaling (By similarity). Receptor for amyloid beta peptide. Contributes to the translocation of amyloid-beta peptide (ABPP) across the cell membrane from the extracellular to the intracellular space in cortical neurons. ABPP-initiated RAGE signaling, especially stimulation of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), has the capacity to drive a transport system delivering ABPP as a complex with RAGE to the intraneuronal space. Can also bind oligonucleotides.

Fig. 5. Effect of crocin on hippocampal HMGB-1 level and expression as well as RAGE expression in a rat model of CS-induced cognitive disorders. (A) HMGB1 level (pg/g tissue); n = 6, (B) western blot showing HMGB1 and RAGE expression, (C) bar graph reflecting HMGB1 expression, and (D) bar graph reflecting RAGE expression. Protein expression level was normalized to β-actin and shown relative to that of control; n = 3. Values were expressed as means ± SD. Significant difference were presented at *p < 0.05 and ***p < 0.001; using One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey...
