APLNR - apelin receptor Gene
Also Known as APJ; APJR; HG11; AGTRL1
Species: Homo sapiens
About APLNR
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 172 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Biased expression in spleen (RPKM 57.2), placenta (RPKM 39.1) and 11 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled receptor gene family. The encoded protein is related to the Angiotensin Receptor, but is actually an apelin receptor that inhibits Adenylate Cyclase activity and plays a counter-regulatory role against the pressure action of angiotensin II by exerting hypertensive effect. It functions in the cardiovascular and central nervous systems, in glucose metabolism, in embryonic and tumor angiogenesis and as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1) coreceptor. Two transcript variants resulting from alternative splicing have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2009]
