Agtr1a Gene Summary [Mouse]

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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Agtr1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
