description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) 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). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous inactivation of this gene causes hypotension and hyperreninemia, alters drinking behavior and vascular and hemodynamic responses to angiotensin II, and may lead to abnormal physiological response to xenobiotics, abnormal kidney morphology, andreduced cell numbers in specific brain areas.
