About APLN

Cytogenetic location: Xq26.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): X:129,645,259-129,654,956 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant) and 123 orthologues. Biased expression in placenta (RPKM 42.1), lung (RPKM 12.5) and 5 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a peptide that functions as an endogenous ligand for the G-protein coupled apelin receptor. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed into biologically active C-terminal peptide fragments. These peptide fragments activate different tissue specific signaling pathways that regulate diverse biological functions including fluid homeostasis, cardiovascular function and Insulin secretion. This protein also functions as a coreceptor for the human immunodeficiency virus 1. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
