Abstract excerpt
The advanced glycosylation end product-specific receptor (RAGE) has been demonstrated to be an important mediator of asthma pathogenesis. The soluble isoform of RAGE (sRAGE) acts as a 'decoy' to sequester RAGE ligands, and thus prevents their binding to the receptor. A number of reports have linked deficiency of sRAGE to the severity and outcomes of various human diseases, and association with RAGE G82S variants....
