Angiotensin AT1 Receptors

The angiotensin1 receptor (AT1) is a member of the angiotensin group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes AT2 and AT4. They are located primarily in the liver, kidney, adrenal gland and lung. AT1 receptors preferentially bind angiotensin II.

The angiotensin1 receptor (AT1) is a member of the angiotensin group of G-protein-coupled receptors that also includes AT2 and AT4. They are located primarily in the liver, kidney, adrenal gland and lung where they play a role in vasoconstriction, aldosterone and vasopressin release, salt and water retention, cell proliferation and migration and sympathetic stimulation. AT1 receptors preferentially bind angiotensin II.

Most species express a single AT1 gene, but two related genes AT1A and AT1B are found in rodents. The human AT1 receptor gene has been localized to chromosome 3 (3q21-q25).
