RAGE Ligands
RAGE is able to bind several ligands and therefore is referred to as a pattern-recognition receptor. Ligands which have so far been found to bind RAGE are:
- AGE
- HMGB1 (Amphoterin)
- S100b
- S100A7 (psoriasin) but not highly homologous S100A15 (koebnerisin)
- S100P
- Amyloid-β-protein
- Mac-1
- Phosphatidylserine.

Famous quotes containing the word rage:
“Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, and what rage is to anger. The man visited by ecstasies and visions, who takes dreams for realities is an enthusiast; the man who supports his madness with murder is a fanatic.”
—Voltaire [François Marie Arouet] (1694–1778)
