Function | Receptor for angiotensin II, a vasoconstricting peptide (PubMed:28379944, PubMed:29967536, PubMed:31899086, PubMed:8185599). Signals primarily via a non-canonical G-protein- and beta-arrestin independent pathways (PubMed:28379944). Cooperates with MTUS1 to inhibit ERK2 activation and cell proliferation (PubMed:15123706). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P35374}; Multi-pass membrane protein |
Tissue Location | In adult, highly expressed in myometrium with lower levels in adrenal gland and fallopian tube. Expressed in the cerebellum. Very highly expressed in fetal kidney and intestine |

Background
AGTR2 Antibody: Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion that acts through at least two types of receptors, AGTR1 and AGTR2. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system and plays a major role in the development of the mammalian kidney and urinary tract. Like AGTR1, AGTR2 is a seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), but AGTR2 does not demonstrate most of the classic features of GPCR signaling. AGTR2 is involved in a wide range of activities, including the induction of neurite outgrowth and the inhibition of cellular proliferation, in addition to the known function of mediation of vasoconstriction.
