Background: RAGE is the receptor of AGEs, advanced glycation end products with 35,000 molecularweight and was cloned from bovine lung in 1992 ( David Stern et al.,). RAGE has been foundin several tissues such as monocytes, macrophages, endothelial cells, astocytes. The ligand ofRAGE is demonstrated not only AGEs but also anfoterin, EN-RAGE,N-carboxymethyllysine(CML),beta-amyloid and so on. The accumulation of AGEs-proteins invivo has been demonstrated in several disease, it is not clear whether AGEs-proteinsaccumulated in vivo is a direct cause of the disease or rather reflects its effect. Regarding this issue, AGEs-modified proteins are known to interact with several cells by the AGEs-receptors and induce several cellular phenomena. Recently, it has been discovered that RAGE isinvolved in pathophysiological function of diabetes and Alzheimer
