PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • seven transmembrane domains that provide structural support for the formation of the ligand-binding pocket
  • two distinct calmodulin binding sites within AGTR1, at juxtamembrane regions of the N-terminus of the third intracellular loop (AAs 214-231) and carboxyl tail (AA 302-317)
  • C-terminus (CT) of AGTR1 directly and strongly bound to tubulin and the binding domains were mapped to two consecutive Lys residues at positions 310 and 311 in the CT membrane-proximal region of AGTR1 and the acidic CT of tubulin
  • mono polymer heteromer , dimer

    basic FUNCTION
  • major blood pressure regulator (activation of vascular growth)
  • activating phospholipase C and A2 inhibiting adenylate cyclase
  • fundamental role for AGT/AGTR1 in age-induced vascular dysfunction
  • may play a role in the pathophysiology of ischemic heart disease and could provide important targets for pharmaceutical interventions
  • G alpha(q/11)-coupled G protein-coupled receptor, inducing membrane blebbing by coupling to RHOA, Rho kinase, and myosin light chain kinase
  • AGTR1 and AGTR2, in the striatum exert an opposite effect on the modulation of dopamine synthesis rather than dopamine release
  • AGTR1 and AGTR2 reciprocally regulate basal perfusion of muscle microvasculature
  • AGTR1 activity restrains muscle metabolic responses to insulin via decreased microvascular recruitment and insulin delivery
  • opposing effects of AGTR1 and AGTR2 on VEGF-driven angiogenesis converge on the regulation of activity of RHOA-ROCK-dependent endothelial cells migration
  • role for AGTR1 on T lymphocytes to protect the kidney in the setting of hypertension by favorably modulating CD4(+) T helper cell differentiation
  • plays a pivotal role in the development of chronic heart failure (CHF), and is upregulated in a number of tissues owing, in part, to transcription factor nuclear factor kappa B (NFKB)
  • important role of the microtubule network in the cell surface transport of AGTR1
  • may be of crucial importance for the modulation of intestinal epithelial cells apoptosis
  • has a central role in the regulation of blood pressure
  • AGTR1 and APLNR are mechanosensitive GPCRs in the heart, playing vital roles in cardiac physiological adaptation to changes in mechanical load

    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling hormonal
    a component
  • AGTR1–APLNR heterodimers activate distinct signaling pathways compared to monomeric receptors, or the multiple reported downstream pathways of AGTR1 and APLNR may be partially dependent on the activation of the heterodimeric receptor
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction with DRD5 (mediates AGTR1 degradation via a ubiquitin-proteasome pathway)
  • ARAP1 may serve as a local modulator of vascular AGTR1 function
  • AGTRAP is a molecule specifically interacting with the carboxyl- terminal domain of AGTR1
  • stimulation of the AGTR1 on catecholaminergic cells is required for the full development of angiotensin-dependent hypertension
  • GRK4, via regulation of arterial AGTR1 expression and function, participates in the pathogenesis of conduit vessel abnormalities in hypertension
  • NFKB and CREB1 are required for angiotensin II type 1 (AGTR1) receptor upregulation in neurons
  • SND1 increases angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) levels by increasing AGTR1 mRNA stability
  • regulatory role of DRD4 on AGTR1 expression and function in in the vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC)
  • AGTR2 inhibits ligand-induced AGTR1 signaling through the PKC-dependent pathway
  • AGTR1 is an ouabain-associating protein
  • IRF1 is one of the key transcriptional factors for the prevention of neointimal formation involving AGTR1, AGTR2
  • dysregulated (RGS5-mediated) AGTR1 signaling could likely contribute to excessive vasoconstriction in hypertension
  • AGT regulates ARHGDIA stability by SUMOylation and ubiquitination via AT1R activation and thus affects VSMC proliferation and vascular remodeling
