Agt - angiotensinogen (serpin peptidase inhibitor, clade A, member 8)

Enables type 1 angiotensin receptor binding activity and type 2 angiotensin receptor binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cytokine production. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of protein phosphorylation; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by renin-angiotensin. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including axial skeleton; central nervous system; foregut mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Fabry disease; Henoch-Schoenlein purpura; artery disease (multiple); heart conduction disease (multiple); and hydronephrosis. Orthologous to human AGT (angiotensinogen). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
