Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables angiotensin type I receptor activity. Involved in gene expression; positive regulation of cytokine production; and regulation of blood pressure. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including circulatory system development; regulation of blood pressure; and regulation of smooth muscle cell apoptotic process. Located in endosome and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; endocrine gland; extraembryonic component; metanephros; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including COVID-19; artery disease (multiple); chronic kidney disease; neurodegenerative disease (multiple); and sarcoidosis. Orthologous to human AGTR1 (angiotensin II receptor type 1).
