APELA - apelin receptor early endogenous ligand Gene
Also Known as ELA; tdl; Ende
Species: Homo sapiens
About APELA
This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants) and 16 orthologues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 1.8), kidney (RPKM 0.5) and 2 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a peptide hormone that binds to the Apelin receptor. The encoded protein is required for heart development in zebrafish and has been shown to maintain self-renewal of human embryonic stem cells through activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Experiments in human and mouse cell lines point to additional roles for the encoded protein in angiogenesis and regulation of vascular tone. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
