- Automated Description
- Enables signaling receptor binding activity and sodium channel regulator activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of CoA-transferase activity; regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in blood microparticle; collagen-containing extracellular matrix; and extracellular exosome. Is active in extracellular space. Implicated in several diseases, including Fabry disease; Henoch-Schoenlein purpura; artery disease (multiple); heart conduction disease (multiple); and hydronephrosis. Biomarker of several diseases, including alcoholic hepatitis; chronic myeloid leukemia; intermediate coronary syndrome; systemic scleroderma (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
- RGD Description
- The protein encoded by this gene, pre-angiotensinogen or angiotensinogen precursor, is expressed in the liver and is cleaved by the enzyme renin in response to lowered blood pressure. The resulting product, angiotensin I, is then cleaved by angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) to generate the physiologically active enzyme angiotensin II. The protein is involved in maintaining blood pressure, body fluid and electrolyte homeostasis, and in the pathogenesis of essential hypertension and preeclampsia. Mutations in this gene are associated with susceptibility to essential hypertension, and can cause renal tubular dysgenesis, a severe disorder of renal tubular development. Defects in this gene have also been associated with non-familial structural atrial fibrillation, and inflammatory bowel disease. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2019]
