Summary: Enables angiotensin type II receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; metanephros development; and regulation of systemic arterial blood pressure by renin-angiotensin. Acts upstream of or within brain renin-angiotensin system and inflammatory response. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; extraembryonic component; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in IgA glomerulonephritis; end stage renal disease; hypoglycemia; intellectual disability; and vesicoureteral reflux. Orthologous to human AGTR2 (angiotensin II receptor type 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
