Gene: AGTR1
Official Full Name: angiotensin II receptor type 1provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: 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. 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. 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. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2020]

AGTR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are highly specialized cellular models that have been genetically engineered to lack the angiotensin II type 1 receptor (AGTR1) gene. This product serves as a valuable tool in the study of the renin-angiotensin system (RAS), which plays a crucial role in cardiovascular health, fluid balance, and blood pressure regulation. By eliminating AGTR1, researchers can gain insights into the receptor's role in various physiological and pathological processes, allowing for a deeper understanding of diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, and kidney disorders.
The primary mechanism of action for AGTR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines involves the disruption of typical signaling pathways mediated by angiotensin II, which is known to bind and activate AGTR1, triggering a cascade of intracellular responses that lead to vasoconstriction and increased blood pressure. Through these knockout models, scientists can explore the biochemical and molecular ramifications of this absence, thus facilitating studies aimed at elucidating receptor-dependent and independent pathways in cellular function and disease mechanisms.
Scientifically, these cell lines have significant implications for both basic research and clinical applications. They enable researchers to study drug interactions, receptor signaling dynamics, and potential therapeutic targets without the confounding influence of AGTR1. This makes them invaluable in pharmacological research, as well as in the development of targeted therapies for RAS-related conditions.
Compared to traditional cell lines, AGTR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines offer unique advantages, including the ability to isolate specific biological functions without AGTR1 interference, thus yielding clearer results and reducing variability in experimental data. This specificity enhances reproducibility in research findings, an essential factor for obtaining credible results.
For researchers and clinicians seeking to deepen their understanding of RAS and its implications in health and disease, AGTR1 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are critical resources that facilitate innovative research and novel therapeutic development.
