Angiotensin II Type-1 Receptor (AT1)

Target
AT1
Molecular classification
G protein-coupled receptor, GPCR, Rhodopsin-like receptor
01

Overview

The Angiotensin II type-1 receptor (AT1) is a G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) that mediates most of the known physiological and pathophysiological effects of angiotensin II. It plays a crucial role in cardiovascular regulation, blood pressure control, and fluid homeostasis. It is a primary therapeutic target for hypertension and related cardiovascular diseases. Drugs targeting AT1, such as Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs), are widely used clinically.
