AGE Receptors
Besides RAGE there are other receptors which are believed to bind advanced glycation endproducts. However, these receptors could play a role in removal of AGE rather than in signal transduction as it is the case for RAGE. Other AGE receptors are:
- SR-A (Macrophage scavenger receptor Type I and II)
- OST-48 (Oligosaccharyl transferase-4) (AGE-R1)
- 80 K-H phosphoprotein (Proteinkinase C substrate) (AGE-R2)
- Galectin-3 (AGE-R3)
- LOX-1 (Lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1)
- CD36

Famous quotes containing the words age and/or receptors:
“Old age is a tyrant that forbids us upon pain of death all the pleasures of youth.”
—François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
“Our talk of external things, our very notion of things, is just a conceptual apparatus that helps us to foresee and control the triggerings of our sensory receptors in the light of previous triggering of our sensory receptors.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
