AGTR1, or AT1R, is known as Angiotensin II Type 1 Receptor. Angiotensin II is a potent vasopressor hormone and a primary regulator of aldosterone secretion. It is an important effector controlling blood pressure and volume in the cardiovascular system. And it acts through at least two types of receptors. This gene encodes the type 1 receptor which is thought to mediate the major cardiovascular effects of angiotensin II. Moreover, this gene may play a role in the generation of reperfusion arrhythmias following restoration of blood flow to ischemic or infarcted myocardium. It was previously thought that a related gene, denoted as AGTR1B, existed; however, it is now believed that there is only one type 1 receptor gene in humans. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been reported for this gene.

Optimal dilution of the AT1R antibody should be determined by the researcher.

Amino acids MILNSSTEDGIKRIQDDCPKAGRHNYIF of human AGTR1 were used as the immunogen for the AT1R antibody.

After reconstitution, the AT1R antibody can be stored for up to one month at 4oC. For long-term, aliquot and store at -20oC. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
