Anti-Renin Receptor ATP6AP2 Antibody

Renin receptor; ATPase H (+) -transporting lysosomal accessory protein 2; ATPase H (+) -transporting lysosomal-interacting protein 2; ER-localized type I transmembrane adaptor; Embryonic liver differentiation factor 10; N14F; Renin/prorenin receptor; Vacuolar ATP synthase membrane sector-associated protein M8-9; ATP6M8-9; V-ATPase M8.9 subunit; ATP6AP2; ATP6IP2, CAPER, ELDF10; HT028, MSTP009, PSEC0072;

Expressed in brain, heart, placenta, liver, kidney and pancreas. Barely detectable in lung and skeletal muscles. In the kidney cortex it is restricted to the mesangium of glomeruli. In the coronary and kidney artery it is expressed in the subendothelium, associated to smooth muscles where it colocalizes with REN. Expressed in vascular structures and by syncytiotrophoblast cells in the mature fetal placenta.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .

Functions as a renin and prorenin cellular receptor. May mediate renin-dependent cellular responses by activating ERK1 and ERK2. By increasing the catalytic efficiency of renin in AGT/angiotensinogen conversion to angiotensin I, it may also play a role in the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) .
