Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor

Receptor for angiotensin II, a vasoconstricting peptide, which acts as a key regulator of blood pressure and sodium retention by the kidney (PubMed:15611106, PubMed:1567413, PubMed:25913193, PubMed:26420482, PubMed:30639100, PubMed:32079768, PubMed:8987975). The activated receptor in turn couples to G-alpha proteins G(q) (GNAQ, GNA11, GNA14 or GNA15) and thus activates phospholipase C and increases the cytosolic Ca(2+) concentrations, which in turn triggers cellular responses such as stimulation of protein kinase C (PubMed:15611106).

(Microbial infection) During SARS coronavirus-2/SARS-CoV-2 infection, it is able to recognize and internalize the complex formed by secreted ACE2 and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein through DNM2/dynamin 2-dependent endocytosis.

Renal tubular dysgenesis

RTD

Autosomal recessive severe disorder of renal tubular development characterized by persistent fetal anuria and perinatal death, probably due to pulmonary hypoplasia from early-onset oligohydramnios (the Potter phenotype).

None

The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.

C-terminal Ser or Thr residues may be phosphorylated.

Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.

Liver, lung, adrenal and adrenocortical adenomas.
