Mas1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable angiotensin receptor activity and peptide binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hippocampus development; male gonad development; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Located in cell surface. Used to study glaucoma and hypertension. Biomarker of chronic kidney disease; congestive heart failure; dilated cardiomyopathy; and primary biliary cholangitis. Orthologous to human MAS1 (MAS1 proto-oncogene, G protein-coupled receptor). [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 rat Mas1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
