Influence of myocardial infarction on changes in the expression of angiotensin type 1 receptor in the rat prostate

Folia Histochemica et Cytobiologica, 2011
Angiotensin II (AngII) is the biologically active peptide of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS). Tissue- based, local RAS has been identified in the prostate, testis, epididymis and coagulating glands.

Angiotensin II type 2 receptor–interacting protein 3a inhibits ovarian carcinoma metastasis via the extracellular HMGA2-mediated ERK/EMT pathway

Tumor Biology, 2017
Local migration and long-distance metastasis is the main reason for higher mortality of ovarian cancer. Microtubule-associated tumor suppressor 1/angiotensin II type 2 receptor–interacting protein is associated with tumor initiation and progression and ...

Novel Pharmacology Following Heteromerization of the Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor and the Bradykinin Type 2 Receptor

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
The angiotensin type 2 (AT2) receptor and the bradykinin type 2 (B2) receptor are G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) that have major roles in the cardiovascular system. The two receptors are known to functionally interact at various levels, and there is

Label-free cell signaling pathway deconvolution of Angiotensin type 1 receptor reveals time-resolved G-protein activity and distinct AngII and AngIII\IV responses [PDF]

Pharmacol Res, 136:108-20 (2018), 2019
Angiotensin II (AngII) type 1 receptor (AT1R) is a G protein-coupled receptor known for its role in numerous physiological processes and its implication in many vascular diseases. Its functions are mediated through G protein dependent and independent signaling pathways. AT1R has several endogenous peptidic agonists, all derived from angiotensinogen, as

In silico comparison of spike protein-ACE2 binding affinities across species; significance for the possible origin of the SARS-CoV-2 virus [PDF]

Scientific Reports. 2021 Jun 24;11(1):13063. PMID: 34168168, 2020
The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic caused by SARS coronavirus 2 (SARS CoV 2) has raised important questions about viral origin, mechanisms of zoonotic transfer to humans, whether companion or commercial animals can act as reservoirs for infection, and why there are large variations in SARS-CoV-2 susceptibilities across animal species ...

Beneficial Effect of Mas Receptor Deficiency on Vascular Cognitive Impairment in the Presence of Angiotensin II Type 2 Receptor

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2018
BackgroundThe classical renin‐angiotensin system is known as the angiotensin (Ang)‐converting enzyme/Ang II/Ang type 1 receptor axis, which induces various organ damage including cognitive decline.

Losartan Improves Memory, Neurogenesis and Cell Motility in Transgenic Alzheimer’s Mice

Pharmaceuticals, 2021
Angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) have demonstrated multiple neuroprotective benefits in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) models. However, their beneficial effects on memory deficits, cholinergic activity, neurogenesis and Amyloid beta (Aβ) clearance reveal ...

Towards the convergent therapeutic potential of GPCRs in autism spectrum disorders [PDF]

arXiv, 2022
Changes in genetic and/or environmental factors to developing neural circuits and subsequent synaptic functions are known to be a causative underlying the varied socio-emotional behavioural patterns associated with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). Seven transmembrane G protein-coupled receptors (GPCRs) comprising the largest family of cell-surface ...

Desensitization of angiotensin receptor function

Kidney International, 1994
Angiotensin II is an eight amino acid peptide which plays a major role in the regulation of cardiovascular homeostasis. The physiologic effects of angiotensin (Ang) II are mediated by a G-protein coupled receptor, termed AT1, which activates phospholipase C.
