This gene encodes a member of the G protein-coupled
receptor gene family. The encoded protein is related to the
angiotensin receptor, but is actually an apelin receptor that
inhibits adenylate cyclase activity and plays a counter-regulatory
role against the pressure action of angiotensin II by exerting
hypertensive effect. It functions in the cardiovascular and central
nervous systems, in glucose metabolism, in embryonic and tumor
angiogenesis and as a human immunodeficiency virus (HIV-1)
coreceptor. Two transcript variants resulting from alternative
splicing have been identified.1) Tao, Y., et al. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 51(8):4237-4242(2010)
