Background Information
Angiotensin II (Ang II), the main effector molecule of the renin-angiotensin system, exerts its actions mainly via interaction with type-1 angiotensin II receptor (AGTR1, also named AT1R), thereby contributing to blood pressure regulation. AGTR1 mediates its action by association with G proteins that activate a phosphatidylinositol-calcium second messenger system. By regulating vascular tone, cardiovascular function, and salt and water homeostasis, AGTR1 exerts an indispensable physiological role (PMID: 21600887). AGTR1 has been implicated in diverse aspects of human disease, from the regulation of blood pressure and cardiovascular homeostasis to cancer progression (PMID: 26975580).
