Phenotype triggers

  • normal activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptor
    in kidney
    • Renal AT1 receptors have unique and nonredundant actions in blood pressure homeostasis. [1]
    • Blood pressure is regulated by direct effects of AT1 receptors on kidney cells, independent of any impact of mineralocorticoids. [1]
  • normal activity of angiotensin II type 1 receptor
    in brain
    • In the brain, intraventricular injection of angiotensin II causes a dramatic pressor response mediated by AT1 receptors. [2]
    • AT1 receptors outside the kidney also make a unique contribution to blood pressure homeostasis that is virtually equivalent to and independent of the intrarenal actions of angiotensin II. [1]
    • AT1 receptors in the CNS and/or in the vasculature are more likely to mediate the component of blood pressure regulation that is independent of the kidney. [1]
