APJ Receptor, Rat, Control Peptide (Apelin, AGTRL1)

The apelin receptor (APJ receptor) has been identified as the endogenous receptor for the peptide apelin. Previous to the identification of apelin, APJ was considered an orphan G protein coupled receptor. The apelin receptor (both by immunohistochemistry and in situ) has been localized to the CNS and is currently thought to play a role in stress response, feeding behavior and haemodynamic homeostasis. However, because of a broad distribution the apelin receptor and its endogenous ligand may be involved in a wide range of biological process yet to be determined.
