Le Récepteur aux Produits Avancés de Glycation (Receptor for Advanced Glycation End products, RAGE) est un récepteur transmembranaire, ubiquitaire, impliqué dans de nombreuses voies d'activation pro-inflammatoires. On lui décrit une forme transmembranaire (fl-RAGE) qui véhicule le signal d'activation intracellulaire, et des formes solubles (s-RAGE ...
