renin receptor (renin/prorenin receptor, {ATPase, H+- transporting, lysosomal accessory protein 2}, vacuolar ATP synthase membrane sector-associated protein M8-9, V-ATPase M8.9 subunit, ATP6M8-9, N14F, ER-localized type 1 transmembrane adaptor, embryonic liver differentiation factor 10, ATP6AP2, ATP6IP2, CAPER, ELDF10, HT028, MSTP009, PSEC0072)

Function
- renin & prorenin cellular receptor
- renin-dependent cellular responses
- increases catalytic efficiency of renin in angiotensinogen conversion to angiotensin 1
- renin-angiotensin system
- interacts with renin & vacuolar proton-ATPase
- phosphorylated
Compartment
membrane
Expression
- expressed in brain, heart, placenta, liver, kidney, pancreas > lung, skeletal muscles
- in kidney cortex restricted to the mesangium of glomeruli
- in coronary arteries & renal artery, expressed in subendothelium, associated with smooth muscles
Pathology
- defects in ATP6AP2 are a cause of X-linked mental retardation with epilepsy
- a silent mutation, exon skipping occurs
