Rabbit anti-Human MAS1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MAS1 antibody
MAS1 Antibody (C-term)
belongs to the class of receptors that are coupled to GTP-binding
proteins and share a conserved structural motif, which is described
as a '7-transmembrane segment' following the prediction that these
hydrophobic segments form membrane-spanning alpha-helices. The MAS1
protein may be a receptor that, when activated, modulates a
critical component in a growth-regulating pathway to bring about
oncogenic effects.

NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a class I seven-transmembrane G-protein-coupled receptor. The encoded protein is a receptor for angiotensin-(1-7) and preferentially couples to the Gq protein, activating the phospholipase C signaling pathway. The encoded protein may play a role in multiple processes including hypotension, smooth muscle relaxation and cardioprotection by mediating the effects of angiotensin-(1-7).

Uniprot Description
MAS1: Receptor for angiotensin 1-7. Acts specifically as a functional antagonist of AGTR1 (angiotensin-2 type 1 receptor), although it up-regulates AGTR1 receptor levels. Positive regulation of AGTR1 levels occurs through activation of the G-proteins GNA11 and GNAQ, and stimulation of the protein kinase C signaling cascade. The antagonist effect on AGTR1 function is probably due to AGTR1 being physically altered by MAS1. The MAS oncogene has a weak focus-inducing activity in transfected NIH 3T3 cells. Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor 1 family.
