Agt - angiotensinogen

Enables hormone activity. Involved in several processes, including MAPK cascade; regulation of ion transport; and regulation of secretion. Located in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Used to study several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); diabetic retinopathy; gastric ulcer; impotence; and sciatic neuropathy. Biomarker of several diseases, including cerebrovascular disease (multiple); glomerulonephritis (multiple); liver cirrhosis (multiple); lung disease (multiple); and prediabetes syndrome. 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]
