Recombinant Human AGTR1 Protein, hFc Tag

Molecular Characterization: AGTR1 (Met1-Ile27) hFc (Glu99-Ala330) Molecular weight: The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 29.2 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of AGTR1-hFc is approximately 35-55 kDa due to glycosylation.Description: Recombinant Human AGTR1 Protein with C-terminal human Fc tagAngiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. It acts through at least two types of receptors. This gene encodes the type 1 receptor which is thought to mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. This gene may play a role in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmias following restoration of blood flow to ischemic or infarcted myocardium. It was previously thought that a related gene, denoted as AGTR1B, existed; however, it is now believed that there is only one type 1 receptor gene in humans. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
