Predicted to enable apelin receptor binding activity and hormone activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including apelin receptor signaling pathway; circulatory system development; and positive regulation of G protein-coupled receptor internalization. Predicted to act upstream of or within SMAD protein signal transduction. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
