MAS1 oncogene
Protein receptor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The MAS1 oncogene (MAS receptor) is a G protein-coupled receptor[1][2] which binds the angiotensin II metabolite angiotensin (1-7).[3][4] The MAS1 receptor, when activated by binding angiotensin-(1-7), opposes many of the effects of the angiotensin II receptor. Hence, MAS1 receptor agonists have similar therapeutic effects to angiotensin II receptor antagonists, including lowering of blood pressure.[5]
