Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and aprimary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It is an importanteffector controlling blood pressure and volume in thecardiovascular system. It acts through at least two types ofreceptors. This gene encodes the type 1 receptor which is thoughtto mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. Thisgene may play a role in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmiasfollowing restoration of blood flow to ischemic or infarctedmyocardium. It was previously thought that a related gene, denotedas AGTR1B, existed; however, it is now believed that there is onlyone type 1 receptor gene in humans. At least five transcriptvariants have been described for this gene. Additional variantshave been described but their full-length nature has not beendetermined. The entire coding sequence is contained in the terminalexon and is present in all transcript variants. [provided byRefSeq].
The stated application concentrations are suggested starting points. Titration of the Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor antibody may be required due to differences in protocols and secondary/substrate sensitivity.
A portion of amino acids 211-240 from the human protein was used as the immunogen for the Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor antibody.
Aliquot the Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor antibody and store frozen at -20oC or colder. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
