Description

AGTR1 is a gene encoding for one of the Ang II type 1 receptors. Ang II is the central product of the renin-angiotensin system and plays a role in cardiac and renal pathologies. Disruption of AGTR1 in mice resulted in a significant prolongation of maximal lifespan compared to controls. The mice also developed less cardiac and vascular injury, and multiple organs from these mice displayed less oxidative damage [2148]. AGTR1 is involved in atherosclerosis [2151] and renal diseases [2152].
