Disease relevance of Mas1

 

High impact information on Mas1

  • Here we describe a family of approximately 50 GPCRs related to Mas1, called mrgs, a subset of which is expressed in specific subpopulations of sensory neurons that detect painful stimuli [4].
  • We investigated the allele-specific expression pattern of the Mas gene on the basis of its proximity to the known imprinted gene for the insulin growth factor type II receptor (Igf2r) [5].
  • The Mas protooncogene on mouse chromosome 17 encodes a mitogenic G-protein-coupled cell surface receptor [5].
  • Our results demonstrate parental imprinting of Mas and suggest that the maternally inherited allele is transcriptionally repressed in a developmental and tissue-specific manner [5].
  • By 13.5 days of gestation the paternal allele-specific expression of Mas was restricted to heart, tongue and visceral yolk sac, whereas all other tissues exhibited relaxation of the parental imprint [5].

Anatomical context of Mas1

 

Associations of Mas1 with chemical compounds

 

Other interactions of Mas1

  • The results demonstrate a map position for Mas in the close vicinity of Igf2r, which encodes another membrane receptor known to undergo genomic imprinting [6].
  • Taken together, these observations suggest that Mas transformation is mediated in part by activation of Rac-dependent signaling pathways [8].
  • Evidence for a functional interaction of the angiotensin-(1-7) receptor Mas with AT1 and AT2 receptors in the mouse heart [13].
  • Therefore, we determined if Mas signaling and transformation are mediated through activation of a specific Rho family protein [8].
  • Mas and the AT1 receptor formed a constitutive hetero-oligomeric complex that was unaffected by the presence of agonists or antagonists of the 2 receptors [14].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of Mas1

  • In this study we investigated the role of Mas on cardiac function during ischemia/reperfusion in isolated perfused mouse heart [2].
  • Isolated heart of Mas KO and WT treated with A-779 presented an increase in the perfusion pressure in the baseline period [2].
  • Echocardiography revealed that hearts of Mas-deficient mice showed a significantly decreased fractional shortening, posterior wall thickness in systole and left ventricle end-diastolic dimension, and a higher left ventricle end-systolic dimension [15].
