Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The receptor for advanced glycation end product (RAGE) is a multiligand cell-surface receptor abundantly expressed in the lung. RAGE/ligand interaction has been postulated to participate in the pathogenesis of inflammatory diseases, while soluble RAGE (sRAGE) might act as a decoy receptor. A functional polymorphism rs2070600 in the gene coding RAGE (AGER) might modulate its receptor...
