Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables angiotensin type II receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; metanephros development; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by renin-angiotensin. Acts upstream of or within brain renin-angiotensin system and inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; end stage renal disease; hypoglycemia; intellectual disability; and vesicoureteral reflux. Orthologous to human AGTR2 (angiotensin II receptor type 2).
