Post Translational Modifications
Function
G protein-coupled receptor for peptide hormones apelin (APLN) and apelin receptor early endogenous ligand (APELA/ELA), that plays a role in the regulation of normal cardiovascular function and fluid homeostasis. When acting as apelin receptor, activates both G(i) protein pathway that inhibits adenylate cyclase activity, and the beta-arrestin pathway that promotes internalization of the receptor. APLNR/APJ also functions as mechanoreceptor that is activated by pathological stimuli in a G-protein-independent fashion to induce beta-arrestin signaling, hence eliciting cardiac hypertrophy. However, the presence of apelin ligand blunts cardiac hypertrophic induction from APLNR/APJ on response to pathological stimuli. Plays a key role in early development such as gastrulation, blood vessels formation and heart morphogenesis by acting as a APELA receptor. May promote angioblast migration toward the embryonic midline, i.e. the position of the future vessel formation, during vasculogenesis. Promotes sinus venosus (SV)-derived endothelial cells migration into the developing heart to promote coronary blood vessel development. Also plays a role in various processes in adults such as regulation of blood vessel formation, blood pressure, heart contractility and heart failure. (Microbial infection) Alternative coreceptor with CD4 for HIV-1 infection.may be involved in the development of AIDS dementia.
